Indian bond bias stays positive, debt auction demand in focus
Indian government bonds remained firm in early trade on Friday. The benchmark 10-year bond yield held above the key 6.75% level. Investors awaited a weekly debt auction for fresh market cues. Lower oil prices and U.S. Treasury yields offered some support. India's overnight index swap rates dipped without strong trends.
Indian government bonds encountered significant challenges this week, marking the worst week of the financial year. The Reserve Bank of India's hawkish policy minutes triggered a selloff, compounded by the early closure of a diaspora-deposit hedging facility. Additionally, soaring crude oil prices heightened inflation concerns and rate hike fears in India, culminating in a notable increase in bond yields.
