India bonds emerge as top Asian performers as oil, Treasury yields decline
Indian government bonds emerged as the top performers in emerging Asia, with benchmark 2036 bond yields falling approximately 22 basis points this week as oil prices and US Treasury yields declined.
Foreign investors purchased nearly 52 billion rupees ($552.28 million) in Indian bonds, their largest weekly net buying since July, while market expectations for RBI rate hikes fell from 125 basis points to 50-75 basis points.
Further declines in crude oil prices and US Treasury yields could strengthen demand for Indian debt and ease pressure on the rupee and domestic inflation.
