India bonds dip as RBI's diaspora swap move dents sentiment

Early Monday saw a dip in demand for Indian government bonds following the RBI's closure of its swap window. This decision caused the benchmark bond yield to surge, hindering a crucial source of demand. Inflows exceeding $52 billion resulted in foreign exchange reserves hitting a four-month peak. Additionally, the surplus of banking system liquidity saw a threefold increase, while swap rates escalated.

On Tuesday, Indian government bonds experienced a positive turn as oil prices fell sharply, reducing inflation worries among investors. The successful state debt auction further bolstered market confidence. Despite new U.S. sanctions on Iran, traders stayed vigilant regarding potential supply issues in the oil sector. Throughout the day, strong liquidity levels contributed to resilience in the debt market.
