India-US 10-Year Bond Yield Gap Narrows to Half Its 30-Year Average
The gap between Indian and US 10-year government bond yields has narrowed to about 208 basis points, roughly half its three-decade average of 415 basis points. India's 10-year bond yield stood at 7.068% on September 17, compared to 4.989% for the US Treasury. This narrowing spread, influenced by recent US Federal Reserve rate hikes, may reduce the attractiveness of Indian debt to foreign investors and could pressure the rupee. Similar spread levels were last seen between 2002 and 2005.
