Indian bond yields seen lower tracking fall in oil, U.S. yields
Live MintIndian government bond yields were expected to open lower on Thursday, tracking a slump in oil prices as well as U.S. yields. "After the relatively hawkish monetary policy, there should be some respite as oil and U.S. yields both easing bodes well for local bonds," the trader said. Meanwhile, oil prices continued their downward momentum, with the benchmark Brent crude contract dropping to its lowest level for 2022 on Wednesday, driven by bigger-than-expected increases in U.S. fuel stocks. Bond yields rose on Wednesday, after the central bank's monetary policy committee raised its key policy rate by 35 basis points to 6.25%, the highest in over three years and its fifth straight increase, and vowed there will be no let up in its fight to tame high inflation.
