Bond prices falling means yields rise, which can increase borrowing costs for governments and companies.

India’s bond market is being watched alongside a major debt auction and domestic liquidity conditions.

Global pressures cited in the reporting include U.S. debt, oil-driven inflation, and West Asian conflicts.

One report says Indian bond yields were little changed before weekly supply even as traders tracked U.S. Treasury yields and oil prices.

More context

Another report says the gap between Chinese government bond yields and U.S. Treasurys has reached historic levels amid a global bond rout.
