Indian government bonds are poised for a tight trading session on Thursday, with the benchmark 6.94% 2036 bond yield expected to fluctuate between 6.72% and 6.78%.
Market participants anticipate that continued foreign institutional buying will largely neutralize domestic profit-taking, keeping price action contained within a narrow band.
This equilibrium reflects a broader tug-of-war in Indian fixed-income markets.
While overseas investors continue to seek yield in emerging markets, local dealers and funds are trimming positions to lock in gains.
The resulting standoff suggests limited directional momentum for the session, with volatility likely to remain subdued unless new macro data or geopolitical developments intervene.
The cautious tone in Indian debt markets comes as foreign institutional investors have been pulling back from broader Indian financial assets.
