India bonds gain as RBI FX inflows lift liquidity, spur short-term debt buying
Indian government bonds saw gains early Thursday, led by shorter-term debt. Larger dollar inflows boosted rupee liquidity and improved sentiment for Indian assets. Banks raised significant foreign currency, adding to domestic liquidity for several years. This influx strengthened India's ability to support the rupee and domestic markets. Elevated oil prices and US Treasury yields continued to weigh on longer-dated bonds.
Indian government bonds faced further declines for the fifth consecutive session as U.S. Treasury yields approached three-year peaks. The surge in oil prices reignited inflation concerns, particularly impacting India due to its status as a major importer. This scenario intensified expectations for monetary policy adjustments by the RBI. Critical upcoming events include the U.S. FOMC meeting and fluctuations in oil prices.
