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.

Markets face volatile trends after RBI policy announcement

The RBI decided to keep the policy rate unchanged for the 11th consecutive time but lowered the GDP growth forecast for the current fiscal year. In an effort to boost economic activity, the RBI also reduced the Cash Reserve Ratio, freeing up funds for banks to lend. The market response to the policy announcement was positive, with banking stocks expected to benefit from reduced cost of funds.

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.

Rupee sees worst month since March as dollar rises

The Indian rupee had its worst month in eight as the US dollar and bond yields increased following Donald Trump's election win. Despite closing at 84.4825 against the dollar on Friday, which is slightly up from last week's lifetime low of 84.5075, the rupee fell by almost 0.5% in November. The dollar has been performing well and US yields have increased following Trump's win, which has hurt emerging market assets. Despite this, the rupee has performed relatively well compared to its regional counterparts, due to frequent interventions by the Reserve Bank of India.
