Indian 10-year bond yield hits 7.10% before debt auction




Indian government bond yields rose in the early session on Friday, with benchmark bond yield touching 7.10% as traders braced for a fresh debt sale through the weekly auction, while an uptick in U.S. yields hurt sentiment.

The benchmark 7.26% 2033 bond yield was at 7.0910% as of 10:00 a.m. IST, after ending the previous session at 7.0827%.

"Bulls have turned cautious as the week progressed, and with the 10-year U.S. yield rising again, we are seeing some more selling," a trader with a state-run bank said.
