India 10Y Yield Sideways Near 7-Month Highs

2025-11-24 08:46 By Joshua Ferrer 1 min. read

The yield on India’s 10-year G-Sec hovered around 6.5%, moving sideways near its highest level since early April, as investors assessed the government’s planned reform push.

The winter parliament session starting December 1 is set to take up a wide-ranging package of bills covering insurance, atomic energy, and other key sectors, aimed at attracting investment and accelerating growth.

Prime Minister Narendra Modi aims to transform India into a “developed country” by 2047, a target that calls for growth near 8%.

Attention now will focus on upcoming Q3 GDP data this week, which is projected to expand 7.3%.

However, recent indicators suggest steep US tariffs are starting to weigh on the economy, as October’s record trade deficit combines with slower November activity, with manufacturing at its weakest since May and services expansion moderating.

Stalled US-India trade talks have further dampened sentiment, limiting policy support that could help offset the deficit and subdued inflows.

India 10Y Yield Rises on Oil, Foreign Selling
The yield on India’s 10-year G-Sec hovered around 6.95%, remaining close to three-month highs as rising crude prices, elevated global bond yields, and renewed foreign selling weighed on demand for Indian debt. Brent crude moved toward $100 a barrel amid escalating Middle East tensions, raising inflation risks for India, the world’s third-largest oil importer, and reducing expectations for monetary easing. Meanwhile, the US 10-year Treasury yield climbed to 4.81%, its highest since November 2023, while Japan’s 10-year yield rose above 3% for the first time since 1996, and German 10-year yields reached their highest since 2011, narrowing the yield advantage of Indian bonds. Foreign investors also sold INR 987 crore of government bonds since August, reversing purchases of INR 49,355 crore in June and July. Additionally, Bloomberg deferred India’s inclusion in its Global Aggregate Index, further limiting foreign inflows.

India 10Y Yield Nears Three-Month High
The yield on India’s 10-year G-Sec rose to around 6.97%, hovering near three-month highs as surplus liquidity and expectations of further RBI cash-draining measures weighed on sentiment. Banking-system liquidity swelled to a record INR 10.73 trillion, prompting the RBI to step up efforts to absorb excess funds after weak demand for its INR 7 trillion 30-day variable-rate reverse repo auction. The central bank received INR 2.59 trillion in bids and followed it with an additional INR 5 trillion overnight operation. Meanwhile, rising oil prices and elevated US Treasury yields added to pressure on Indian bonds, with Brent crude trading near $97 a barrel. The benchmark 6.94% 2036 bond yield ended at 6.9625% on Friday, up 5 basis points for the week, marking a third consecutive weekly increase. The weak auction response also raised concerns that the RBI may need to adopt more aggressive measures to sterilize the excess liquidity.

India 10Y Yield Extends Losses
The yield on India’s 10-year G-Sec eased to around 6.95%, extending losses for another session as softer US Treasury yields and fading expectations of a September Fed rate hike improved global bond sentiment. Fed Governor Christopher Waller said the central bank could keep rates unchanged this month if upcoming data confirms easing inflation pressures, bringing the probability of a September hike down to around 50% from 63% previously. Meanwhile, strong inflows through the RBI’s special schemes have lifted banking-system liquidity to a record INR 9.7 trillion, supporting demand for shorter-duration government bonds. However, elevated oil prices continued to weigh on sentiment, with Brent crude holding above $95 a barrel on renewed US-Iran tensions. Meanwhile, investors awaited the government’s INR 320 billion bond auction, including INR 210 billion of a new five-year paper, for cues on demand.
