Indian government bond prices started the quarter with gains on Wednesday as hopes of Bloomberg index inclusion and improved liquidity offset pressure from elevated U.S. yields and firmer oil prices after new hurdles emerged in U.S.-Iran peace talks.
The benchmark 6.94% 2036 bond yield was down 1 basis point at 6.7403% at 11:10 a.m. IST, versus Tuesday's close of 6.7501%.
