Indian Bonds witnessed price decline as yields spiked to 6.20% for 10-year G-Sec during August before recovering to 6.12% at the end of August following announcement of Open Market Operations by RBI. Jump in inflation and a wait & watch mode adopted by the MPC could be cited as major reasons for the spike from a level of 5.76% where we ended July. Bond yields further cooled down in early September as RBI announced further OMOs and other regu- latory measures. Indian rupee appreciated by 1.6% to end the month at Rs.73.62 to a US Dollar. The price of Brent Crude has been in a range and closed the month at Dollar 45 to a barrel. Gold was steady at Dollar 1,968 for an ounce of gold. Dollar weakness, gradual re-opening of the economy and hopes of a vaccine supported sentiments for equities.
