Treasury bills auction held on Wednesday bounced back to oversubscription after the previous two sessions ended up on a low note.

Interest rates on the 364 tenure rose significantly to 11.96 per cent compared to 10.88 per cent and 10.27 per cent respectively of the preceding two sessions. Weighted average price for successful bid increased to 10.96 per cent compared to 10.25 per cent and 9.63 per cent of the last two sessions.
