What’s going on here?
Indian government bond yields are climbing, driven by the rising US Treasury yields and India’s strategic debt buyback efforts.
What does this mean?
As US Treasury yields climb – with two-year and 10-year notes surpassing 4% – Indian bond yields are feeling the pressure. India’s 10-year bond yield is expected to hover between 6.74% and 6.79%, with recent sessions seeing it struggle against the 6.75% resistance. This rise is supported by India’s decision to repurchase up to 250 billion rupees in bonds to manage liquidity. The Reserve Bank of India’s shift to a ‘neutral’ stance plays a part too, as Governor Das aims for a 4% inflation target.
