India bonds end choppy quarter at over 2-year lows as rate hike bets mount

India's government bonds closed the quarter at their weakest levels in more than two years. This decline is largely due to rising expectations of interest rate hikes by the Reserve Bank of India, which has increased fears of reduced bond supply. The Reserve Bank's decision to issue more long-term bonds has also contributed to this trend. As a result, investors are becoming increasingly cautious about investing in Indian bonds, which could have a negative impact on the country's economy.

Why it matters

Indian government bonds have fallen to their weakest levels in over two years due to rising global yields and oil price fluctuations. This could lead to higher borrowing costs and decreased investor demand for bonds.
