The yield on India’s 10-year benchmark government bond (IN063335G=CC) declined by 1 basis point to 6.5035% on October 3, from the previous close of 6.5166%.

Key Market Highlights

The bond yield’s dip follows the RBI’s maintained policy stance while signaling room for future rate cuts to support economic growth.

Current subdued inflation rates and improved GDP growth projections have bolstered investor confidence in government securities.

The RBI governor’s cautious comments on trade uncertainties and external demand have kept market participants watchful but optimistic.

Analysts expect bond yields to hover around this range in the near term, with a possible gradual decline towards 6.45% over the next year.

The bond market remains sensitive to fiscal policies, borrowing programs, and global economic developments.

The slight retreat in the 10-year yield underscores balanced macroeconomic conditions and a forward-looking approach by investors, seeking steady returns amid evolving monetary policy signals.
