What happened

Some supportReported by 1 outlet

The US 10-year Treasury yield reached about 5.02% on September 16, 2026, and climbed back to nearly 5% by September 18. Concurrently, the benchmark 10-year government security yield in India crossed 7% as of September 18, up from roughly 6.81% in mid-August. This pressure is driven by rising US yields, higher crude oil prices, and domestic market anticipation of rate increases by the Reserve Bank of India.
