India's Ultra-Short-Term Borrowing Costs Rise to 18-Month High Amid RBI Rate Hike
India's ultra-short-term borrowing costs rose sharply at a recent treasury bill auction, with yields on 182-day and 364-day bills reaching 18-month highs. The premium over the Reserve Bank of India's 5.5% repo rate hit levels not seen since November 2022, reflecting investor expectations of further monetary tightening. The RBI's recent rate hike and hawkish guidance, including comments linking monetary policy to financial stability, have led traders to anticipate additional increases amid resilient growth and inflation concerns.
