Hawkish MPC Minutes and West Asia Conflict Impact Rupee and Bond Yield Outlook
The Monetary Policy Committee's recent hawkish minutes and the ongoing West Asia conflict have created uncertainty for the Indian rupee and bond yields. Analysts expect the rupee to trade between 95.50 and 96.00, supported by central bank interventions and record forex inflows of $72.8 billion through a special swap facility. Rising oil prices and potential higher sugar imports may add pressure, while the 10-year bond yield is anticipated to remain around 6.85%, with sensitivity to global crude price shocks.
