Indian Bond Yields Rise Amid RBI Swap Window Closure and Brent Crude Concerns
Indian government bond yields rose slightly after the Reserve Bank of India (RBI) unexpectedly advanced the deadline for its concessional forex swap facility for foreign-currency deposits, reducing a key source of bond demand. The benchmark 10-year yield increased to around 6.79%, while foreign exchange reserves reached a four-month high of $707 billion. Rising Brent crude prices and concerns over U.S.-Iran tensions also contributed to market uncertainty. Traders await the RBI monetary policy committee meeting minutes for further guidance.
