What happened

Some supportReported by 1 outlet

The Reserve Bank of India raised interest rates for the first time in nearly four years and signaled further increases due to rising inflation. In response, mutual funds have reduced their exposure to longer-dated government bonds, with Indian mutual funds selling $4.5 billion in government bonds since July. Asset managers are shifting toward short-duration assets to mitigate risks associated with rising yields.

The rate hike and the Reserve Bank of India's heavy open market sales of bonds have altered demand-supply dynamics in the market. Fund managers noted the policy tone was hawkish on inflation, leading to an increase in long-term bond yields reaching nearly three-year highs.
