India bonds rise for fourth straight session as oil falls
In short
Indian government bonds rose for a fourth straight session after the US midterm election result helped push oil prices down. The 10-year US Treasury yield also fell sharply.
The move matters because lower oil can ease inflation pressure in India, and traders are watching the next inflation data for clues on the RBI’s rate outlook.
