New Delhi: For the tenth straight week, Indian government bond yields saw an increase, recording the worst losing streak in the last three decades, reported Business Standard.The yield on the benchmark 10-year government bond settled at 7.47% against the previous close of 7.46%.On Friday (October 23), the benchmark 6.94% 2036 bond ended at 7.4740%, against 7.4596% in the previous session, reported Reuters.During the week, the yield rose 9 basis points, after increasing 62 bps in the previous nine weeks. This is the steepest rise since 1998.Bond yields move inversely to prices.Meanwhile, in wake of increasing geopolitical tensions and chances of further disruption to global energy supplies, the benchmark Brent crude remained around $115 a barrel, which is its highest in almost six months.The Wire had previously reported that foreign investors are withdrawing capital from Indian government bonds and moving to developed countries for safer, comparable returns as global interest rates rise. The narrowed yield differential – the smaller gap between the interest rates offered in India and developed nations – has reduced the incentive for emerging market investment.Till September this year, foreign portfolio investors (FPI) had sold government bonds worth Rs 987 crore.
