thebalanced.newsIndia's 10-Year Bond Yield Rises Amid Middle East Tensions and Crude Oil Surge
India's 10-year government bond yield rose for the third consecutive session on May 11, surpassing 7 percent amid a surge in Brent crude oil prices following heightened geopolitical tensions in the Middle East. The increase followed the rejection of peace proposals between the US and Iran, with related conflicts involving Israel and Lebanon escalating. Higher crude prices are expected to impact India's inflation outlook. Meanwhile, foreign investors sold Indian equities and sovereign bonds, while state-run banks increased bond purchases ahead of a planned debt auction.
