Rising Bond Yields Expected to Reduce Banks' Treasury Income by Nearly 60%
Banks are projected to see a nearly 60% decline in treasury income for the July-September quarter compared to last year, with gains expected to drop from ₹13,100 crore to ₹5,500 crore. This decrease is attributed to a sharp rise in government bond yields, which inversely affect bond prices and reduce mark-to-market and trading gains. Public sector banks may experience a greater impact due to their larger government securities holdings. Analysts note that elevated bond yields will likely keep treasury gains muted.
