India 10Y Yield Hits 12-Week High

2026-08-31 07:13 By Mariene Camarillo 1 min. read

The yield on India’s 10-year G-Sec rose to around 6.95%, extending gains from the previous session to a twelve-week high as rising expectations of tighter monetary policy and elevated oil prices added to upward pressure on yields.

Hawkish comments from Fed Chair Kevin Warsh lifted expectations of a September US rate hike, keeping US Treasury yields elevated and reducing demand for Indian debt.

In the domestic market, investors remained cautious ahead of April-June GDP data, with stronger-than-expected growth potentially reinforcing expectations for RBI policy tightening.

Meanwhile, Brent crude climbed back toward $90 a barrel, heightening inflation concerns and limiting the scope for monetary easing.

The RBI’s August meeting minutes, which indicated that policymakers could consider rate hikes if inflation risks broaden, further dampened sentiment toward government bonds.

India 10-Year Yield Hits 2-Month High
The yield on India’s 10-year G-Sec rose to around 6.91%, reaching more than two-month highs as heavy bond supply and renewed rate hike expectations pushed yields higher. The benchmark 6.94% 2036 yield rose nearly 2 basis points, its highest intraday level since June 18, ahead of an INR 340 billion ($3.56 billion) sale of the benchmark note. Meanwhile, hawkish minutes from the Reserve Bank of India’s August meeting revived expectations of a possible rate hike later this year, adding upward pressure on yields, while investors awaited Federal Reserve Chair Kevin Warsh’s Jackson Hole speech for further clues on the US interest-rate outlook. Easing Brent crude prices, which fell 5% after renewed focus on reopening the Strait of Hormuz, offered some relief by tempering inflation concerns and helping limit the rise in yields.
