India's 10-Year Bond Yields Steady as Markets Await U.S. Iran Sanctions and Oil Price Impact
Indian 10-year government bond yields edged slightly higher amid cautious trading as investors awaited the U.S. announcement of additional sanctions on Iran. Brent crude oil prices remained near $92-$93 per barrel, with concerns that higher oil costs could increase inflation and widen India's current account deficit. The Reserve Bank of India has noted openness to raising interest rates if inflation pressures intensify. Meanwhile, foreign currency inflows have bolstered India's forex reserves, supporting the rupee's modest gains against the dollar.
