Indian Bonds Flat Amid Lower Crude Prices and Bloomberg Index Deferral
Indian government bonds closed flat after volatile trading, supported by declining crude oil prices and expectations of lower state borrowing. Bloomberg Index Services deferred including Indian bonds in its Global Aggregate Index, tempering foreign investor enthusiasm. Market participants remained cautious ahead of the Reserve Bank of India's upcoming policy decision. Analysts noted that easing geopolitical tensions and improved crude supply conditions contributed to a bearish bias in oil prices, which are expected to remain range-bound in the near term amid ongoing diplomatic developments.
