India 10-year bond yield ends at 7.17% after early low
In short
India’s 10-year bond yield moved back up after hitting an early low and ended the day at 7.17%. Banks likely sold some holdings to book profits, and traders were waiting for Friday’s large auction.
The rupee also finished higher. That matters because bond yields and the currency can move quickly when markets are waiting for new government supply.
