Orbit Securities said only the 364-day tenor was oversubscribed by 4.58 per cent.<\/p>\n
\u201cInvestors\u2019 appetite on Treasury bills went down during an auction\u2026after the 35 days tenor was undersubscribed by 50 per cent in one bid while the 91 days and 182 days tenors received no bids\u201d.<\/p>\n
Orbit, said in its weekly market synopsis that \u201cas usual, the 364 days tenor received the most attention\u201d, receiving 80 bids out of a total of 81 bids for the whole auction.<\/p>\n
The total offer size from the BoT was the usual 107.2bn\/- while the public tendered 0.5 per cent less from the offer. BoT accepted 65 bids worth 98.3bn\/-.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe successful amount was 7.83 per cent lower than the tender size, deliberately to limit the cost of capital to the government,\u201d Orbit said.<\/p>\n
