1324 GMT - The bond market isn't expected to get a boost from the India budget, with yields likely to rise in the near-term, says Radhika Rao at DBS. "Bond markets are likely to eye the scale of gross borrowings with trepidation," the senior economist says in a note. She notes that the FY27 gross borrowing target has been set at a record high of INR17.2 trillion, compared with DBS's forecast ofINR16.5 trillion and INR15.5 trillion in FY26. The Reserve Bank of India has been amongst the bigger buyers of government securities in the past year, and this is likely to continue until the domestic players, led by banks, make a comeback to better balance the supply-demand mix, she adds.
