Indian government bonds fell for an eighth straight week as elevated oil prices and a hawkish shift by the central bank dampened investor appetite, pushing the benchmark 10-year yield higher.
The benchmark 6.94% 2036 bond ended at 7.2994% on Friday, up from 7.2868% on Thursday. The yield rose 9 basis points this week, adding to a cumulative 45-basis-point rise over the previous seven weeks since August 17.
