India's bond and currency markets face challenges from geopolitical tensions, crude oil price fluctuations, and global yield increases. Experts highlight risks of imported inflation due to the Middle East conflict and note the Reserve Bank of India's (RBI) recent decision to hold rates at 5.25%, maintaining a neutral stance amid inflation and growth concerns.
