India 10Y Yield Steadies Ahead of Debt Sale

2026-07-07 07:37 By Mariene Camarillo 1 min. read

The yield on India’s 10-year G-Sec hovered around 6.7%, pausing its recent decline after falling to a near four-month low as investors awaited the sale of INR 213.5 billion in state bonds for fresh market direction.

The benchmark yield has declined about 37 basis points over the past six weeks, supported by sustained foreign inflows, easing monsoon-related inflation risks, and lower crude oil prices following a 21% drop in Brent crude during June.

Overseas investors have bought over INR 351 billion of government bonds in the past month, supported by foreign capital measures and expectations of India's inclusion in Bloomberg's Global Aggregate Index.

Meanwhile, improved monsoon conditions narrowed the cumulative rainfall deficit to 24% as of July 5, from 43.1% a week earlier, easing inflation concerns.

However, a modest rise in the US 10-year Treasury yield to around 4.50% ahead of the release of the Federal Reserve's June meeting minutes limited further declines in domestic yields.

India 10Y Yield Nears Four-Month Low
The yield on India’s 10-year government bond fell to around 6.69%, its lowest level in nearly four months, as stronger US Treasuries, improving monsoon conditions, and sustained foreign inflows boosted demand for sovereign debt. Foreign demand remained a key support, with overseas investors buying a net INR 346 billion of Indian government bonds through the Fully Accessible Route over the five weeks since June 1. The 2036 benchmark attracted INR 102 billion in inflows, while the 2031 bond drew INR 72 billion, together accounting for more than half of total foreign purchases amid expectations of inclusion in the Bloomberg Global Aggregate Index. Lower yields were also supported by improving monsoon rainfall, which eased food inflation concerns, while lower crude oil prices following OPEC+'s production increase further lifted sentiment. Investors also await the minutes of the Federal Reserve's latest policy meeting for fresh interest-rate signals.

India 10Y Yield Pauses Decline
The yield on India’s 10-year G-Sec rose to 6.74%, pausing recent losses after slipping to a fifteen-week low, as investors continued to assess the outlook for monetary policy. Over the past three months, Indian government bond yields have risen amid expectations that the Reserve Bank of India is nearing a shift toward tighter policy, with inflation concerns fueled by the Iran war-related energy shock. The benchmark 10-year yield climbed 34 basis points between March and May. The sharper rise in shorter-dated yields has prompted foreign investors to rotate into bonds with maturities of less than five years, which accounted for more than two-thirds of the ten most-purchased securities during March-May, as they offered more attractive risk-adjusted carry with lower duration risk. Meanwhile, overseas investors bought INR 221 billion of government bonds in January-February, turned record net sellers of INR 177 billion in March, before returning as net buyers in April and May.
