Indian Bond Yields Steady as RBI Rate Hike Expected Amid Oil Price Decline
Indian government bond yields remained steady amid expectations of a Reserve Bank of India rate hike in early October, following a rise in retail inflation to 4.82% in August. Oil prices fell below $100 a barrel, easing inflation concerns and improving market sentiment despite ongoing US-Iran tensions. The RBI continues liquidity withdrawals through bond sales, while market participants anticipate a 25 basis point rate increase. The rupee showed slight appreciation against the dollar amid these developments.
