Indian Bonds Steady to Lower as Oil Prices Fall and Debt Auction Looms
Indian government bonds opened steady to slightly lower amid cautious investor sentiment ahead of a large debt auction. Brent crude oil prices declined due to easing geopolitical tensions, including talks between Iran and Oman to reopen the Strait of Hormuz, a key energy route. While falling oil prices supported sentiment, concerns over potential interest rate hikes and heavy debt supply weighed on bond yields. Domestic inflation remains above target, and market participants await upcoming policy decisions and debt auctions.
