Experts Advise Caution on Long-Duration Bonds Amid Rising Indian Yields
Indian bond yields have risen sharply, with the 10-year government bond yield reaching around 7.05-7.07%, prompting investors to reconsider fixed-income strategies. Experts advise caution with long-duration debt funds due to their sensitivity to further rate hikes, which could cause mark-to-market losses despite higher yields. Shorter-duration bonds, such as 2-year segments, are seen as more attractive amid global rate pressures and domestic fiscal risks. Investors face a choice between locking in current yields or managing duration risk amid uncertain interest rate and inflation outlooks.
