India bonds little changed; traders track oil moves in run-up to RBI decision
Indian government bonds remained stable early on Wednesday, supported by lower oil prices amid selling pressure. The benchmark 10-year yield hovered around 7% after declining slightly from previous levels. Analysts noted that Indian bonds have outperformed US Treasuries amid global market volatility and oil price fluctuations. Expectations for an interest rate hike at the Reserve Bank of India's upcoming policy meeting have increased due to rising inflation concerns.
While the recent rise in yields may make short-tenor bonds more attractive, the long end remains vulnerable to global rate pressures and domestic fiscal risks. Apoorva Javadekar, Chief Economist at Shriram Group, believes the 2-year segment offers a relatively attractive entry point, while investors should remain cautious on long-duration bonds.
