RBI tightening drives India bonds to ninth weekly loss
In short
Indian government bonds fell for a ninth week in a row after RBI tightening measures hit the market. The benchmark 6.94% 2036 bond yield rose by more than 62 basis points over that period.
This matters because higher yields can hurt bond prices and investor returns. The report says the RBI is supporting the rupee and managing liquidity, but it does not say what it will do next about bond yields.
