Summary

Economic Times reported that Indian government bonds were among Asia's top performers this week, helped by lower oil prices and US Treasury yields after a Democratic win in the US midterm elections. BusinessLine said the benchmark 6.94% 2036 bond yield was 7.1973% at 11:40 a.m. IST, up 2.5 basis points on the day but down about 22 basis points for the week, its best week since April. A government bond is a loan to the government that pays interest; the yield is the return a buyer gets. A basis point is one-hundredth of a percentage point, so 22 basis points is 0.22 percentage point. Bond yields and prices move in opposite directions.
