India's benchmark 10-year government bond yield rose to 6.5920% from the previous close of 6.5786%, signaling a 1.3 basis point uptick. This modest increase reflects year end rebalancing, global yield pressures, and domestic liquidity dynamics as markets eye RBI's steady policy stance entering 2026.

Key Highlights
Yield Shift: Current at 6.5920%, up from 6.5786% close, driven by profit-taking and global Treasury upticks.

Trading Range: Resistance near 6.60%; support at 6.55%, with low holiday volumes capping volatility.
Implications: Signals mild hawkishness; positive for fixed income investors, but watch US Fed cues post-New Year.
