India bonds rise as falling US yields spur buying
In short
Indian government bonds rose after a flat start. The report says lower US Treasury yields and value buying helped, and the 6.94% bond due in 2036 traded at a 7.3551% yield.
This matters because bond prices are reacting to global yields, oil and inflation. The report says the RBI may tighten conditions, but it is not clear what it will do next.
