India bonds tiptoe along ahead of Fed meet; oil prices weigh

Indian government bonds traded range-bound early Wednesday as investors awaited the Fed's rate decision. Oil prices climbed, reviving concerns about the Gulf conflict and global economic impact. The Reserve Bank of India's policy decision is due next week, with rates expected to remain unchanged. India's financial conditions have tightened recently due to oil price surges. Economic growth is expected to slow while inflation surpasses the central bank's target.
