India bonds under pressure before debt supply; hot inflation prints pinch further
Detailed summary
Indian government bonds experienced significant selling pressure ahead of a major auction for the benchmark paper.

The Reserve Bank of India is expected to raise interest rates again in early December due to persistent inflationary pressures.
In an interaction with Kshitij Anand of ETMarkets, Devang Shah, Head – Fixed Income at Axis Mutual Fund, said investors should consider building their fixed-income allocation gradually and focus on high-quality instruments, as oil prices, global interest rates and liquidity conditions could continue to fuel volatility in the bond market.
