Indian bond yields spike 9 bps to 6.42% after RBI policy

Indian bond yields surged, with the 10-year benchmark government security climbing nine basis points to 6.42%, its sharpest rise in nearly two years. This increase comes amidst low expectations for a rate cut in October, as the Reserve Bank of India maintained its policy repo rate without signaling any dovish intent. The rise in yields also reflects a bearish market sentiment due to high inflation projections, affecting traders' strategies.

IOC cancels bond issue for better pricing amid market liquidity

Indian Oil Corporation (IOC) canceled its bond issue despite a strong investor response, aiming for better pricing due to expected increased liquidity following recent RBI policy changes. The issue received bids totaling ₹9,830 crore, but IOC opted to wait for a narrower spread over government bond yields, similarly to PFC's earlier decision. The cancellation highlights a disconnect between issuer expectations and investor demands amid evolving market conditions and recent yield reversals.

Stable Indian government bond yields push investors towards more attractive corporate debt

Indian mutual funds and insurance firms are increasingly adopting an accrual strategy to capitalize on higher corporate bond yields, as government bond yields remain stable. Mutual funds prefer shorter-duration bonds, while insurance companies focus on longer-duration bonds, notably five to 10 years. The spread between corporate and government yields has risen, with corporate bond yields outpacing government bonds as the Reserve Bank of India tightens liquidity. This shift sees funds reallocating from government to corporate bonds for better returns.

FIIs dump Rs 1 lakh crore of shares in 33 days; Know why they’re exiting and when they will return

Foreign institutional investors (FIIs) have sold shares worth Rs 1 lakh crore over 33 days due to global policy shifts, particularly in the US, which have caused uncertainty. Rising US bond yields make US assets appear more secure, prompting FIIs to move away from Indian stocks. Additionally, slow corporate sales growth in India contributes to this capital exodus. The market is expected to remain volatile, influenced by US tariffs on India and uncertain domestic growth.

India bonds flat, traders eye debt supply for cues

Indian government bonds remained stable in early trading ahead of a debt sale and the Reserve Bank of India's (RBI) cash withdrawal operation. The yield on the benchmark 10-year bond was at 6.2993%, comparable to the previous close of 6.3010%. Traders anticipate strong demand in the auction, with potential tight liquidity due to GST outflows and the RBI's Variable Rate Reverse Repo (VRRR) auction, which may affect interbank call money rates. U.S. Treasury yields also saw a decline.

Foreign investors injected Rs 30,772 crore into Indian equities this month

Foreign investors have injected INR 30,772 crore ($4.1 billion) into Indian equities this month, driven by optimism surrounding policy reforms, sustained economic growth, and a strong earnings season. The anticipation of a reform-oriented budget has also boosted investor sentiment. Experts suggest that if the weakening of the US dollar and bond yields continues, foreign portfolio investors are likely to continue to buy in the Indian market. Both domestic and foreign investors are also watching for possible changes in the long-term capital gains tax in the upcoming budget.

Indian firms tap bond market for acquisitions on mutual fund demand

Indian companies are increasingly turning to the domestic bond market to finance acquisitions, planning to raise over $2 billion in the coming months, driven by mutual fund demand. This shift is fueled by ample mutual fund capital, attractive pricing, and reduced corporate bond yields, which now range between 6.97% and 7.05%. The trend is leading to a record high in corporate bond sales, overtaking foreign lenders’ dominance due to the high cost of offshore issuances.

Global Bond Markets Slip Into a Tailspin, but Could This Be India’s Moment to Shine?

Global bond markets are experiencing turbulence, with rising yields in the US and Japan due to fiscal concerns. This has heightened investor risk aversion and prompted a shift toward stable, high-yielding destinations like India. India's macroeconomic stability and attractive yields position it as an appealing option for global capital. Experts suggest that capital outflows from US assets may benefit Indian equities and debt, given India's promising growth prospects and relative insulation from global yield movements.
