Indian government bond yields remained steady on Friday, tracking US yields lower initially, awaiting fresh debt supply from the weekly auction. The benchmark 10-year yield held at 6.9915 per cent, with traders assessing demand at the auction. New Delhi plans to raise Rs 29,000 crore through bond sales, including a new five-year paper worth Rs 12,000 crore. US yields eased after slower-than-expected first-quarter growth, increasing speculation of a rate cut. Meanwhile, in India, the central government has bought back bonds worth around Rs 23,000 crore this month amid a strong cash position.
