IPC Index — Mexico MarketThe yield on India’s 10-year G-Sec rose to around 7.1%, touching its highest level in more than three weeks, driven by a rise in US Treasury yields. Bond yields moved up as sentiment turned increasingly defensive, with investors reacting to a sharp rise in US Treasury yields. The US 10-year yield climbed to a five-week high of about 4.43% after the Federal Reserve left interest rates unchanged in a closely divided decision, reinforcing expectations that borrowing costs may remain elevated for longer. The rise in global rates, alongside weakness in the Indian rupee, which slipped to a new all-time low, breaching the 75-per-dollar mark, has added further pressure on Indian bonds. The market has already been under strain for weeks due to surging crude oil prices, which continue to stoke inflation concerns and widen fiscal risks.
