However, the yield curve edged up slightly, driven by moderate foreign selling pressure in the longer tenures, particularly the 15.09.2034 maturity.
Among the maturities traded, the 15.09.2029 bond traded at 11.10 percent, while the 15.10.2030 bond traded at 11.50 percent.
Within the 2031 maturities, the 01.02.2031 bond traded at 11.60 percent, while the 01.12.2031 bond traded at 11.75 percent.
Further along the curve, the 01.11.2033 bond traded in the range of 12.00 percent-12.05 percent, while the 15.09.2034 bond traded between 12.28 percent and 12.30 percent, amid slight foreign selling pressure.
On the external front, the Sri Lankan rupee marginally depreciated against the US dollar, standing at Rs.331.23/US dollar, compared to Rs.331.12/US dollar seen earlier.
