India's 10-Year Bond Yield Rises Amid RBI Liquidity Tightening and Rate Hike
Indian government bond yields rose sharply to their highest levels in three years following the Reserve Bank of India's (RBI) recent liquidity-tightening measures. The benchmark 10-year yield on the 6.94% 2036 bond climbed above 7.35%, driven by a 25,000 crore open market operation (OMO) sale and an increase in the daily cash reserve ratio (CRR) maintenance requirement from 90% to 99%. These steps, alongside a 25 basis point repo rate hike and a shift to a calibrated tightening stance, raised concerns about further rate increases and reduced banks' liquidity, pressuring bond demand.
