INDIA BONDS-Bond yields seen higher tracking U.S. peers, hawkish Fed to hurt

Indian government bond yields are expected to rise in early trading on Thursday, tracking a spike in U.S. yields, after the Federal Reserve hike interest rate by 75 basis points and signalled more increases to battle elevated inflation.

The benchmark Indian 10-year government bond yield is seen in a 7.25%-7.30% band, a trader with a private bank said. The yield ended at 7.2326% on Wednesday.

"There should be a gap up opening in terms of yields today but, after the initial selloff, we may see yields stabilising, as the outcome was not completely out of the box," the trader said.

"It is also possible that after the initial few minutes, yields may stabilise and some buying may emerge." (Reuters)

US stocks fall, dollar gains as Fed unveils latest big rate hike

Wall Street stocks tumbled and the dollar rallied Wednesday after the Federal Reserve announced another large interest rate increase and signalled it expects more monetary tightening ahead to fight inflation.

The US central bank announced its third consecutive interest rate increase of 0.75 percentage point, continuing the forceful action to tamp down inflation that has surged to the highest in 40 years.

US stocks had climbed ahead of the announcement, following positive sessions on leading European bourses and declines in Asia.

Equities gyrated after the Fed press release before taking a final decisive push lower during Fed Chair Jerome Powell's news conference. The S&P 500 ended down 1.7%.

"The higher-for-longer narrative kicked in," Art Hogan, analyst of B. Riley Wealth Management, said of the market's reaction to an announcement that was more "hawkish" than expected. (AFP)
