    Indian Bond Yields Eye Uptick As Inflation Surprises

    October 15, 2024


    What’s going on here?

    Yields on Indian government bonds are set to rise as September’s retail inflation hit a nine-month high, mainly due to surging food prices.

    What does this mean?

    India’s retail inflation rose to 5.49% last month, surpassing economists’ forecast of 5.04%, mainly driven by increasing food costs. As a result, the yields on India’s benchmark 10-year government bond are expected to fluctuate between 6.77% and 6.81%. The Reserve Bank of India (RBI) has adopted a neutral policy stance, aiming for average inflation of 4.5% in the next fiscal year, targeting 4%. This situation complicates the RBI’s monetary strategy, since notable decreases in food prices by November are essential for a potential rate cut in December. If food costs only slightly drop, any rate reduction might be postponed until at least February.

    Why should I care?

    For markets: Effect of inflation on bonds.

    The rise in Indian bond yields could be softened by favorable factors like declining oil prices—with Brent crude down 3% to $75.10 per barrel—and a favorable bond demand-supply situation, as the RBI reduces secondary market sales and initiates a second debt buyback soon. Additionally, global investor sentiment is uplifted by FTSE Russell’s plans to add Indian debt to its index, boosting market confidence.

    The bigger picture: Balancing economic objectives.

    The relationship between inflation rates and bond yields requires careful management. Eight Indian states are set to raise $1.55 billion through bond sales, aligning with the global bond market, where US Treasury yields offer competitive benchmarks—10-year at 4.0904% and two-year at 3.9575%. This context highlights the importance of aligning national economic goals amidst global economic shifts and inflationary challenges.
