Indian markets moved lower.
· Economic Times Markets
The yield on 10-year benchmark government bonds decreased to 7.39% on Thursday, marking the largest fall since July. US Treasury yields eased following comments from the Federal Reserve indicating a less hawkish stance. Oil prices declined modestly, contributing to the drop in bond yields. Forecasts suggest bond yields may rise to 7.70% to 7.75% by December.
The analysis
Because the driver here is macro rather than company-specific, the read-through is to index-level positioning rather than to any single name — correlations tend to rise when the whole market faces the same signal.
