Indian debt funds set to extend $4.5 billion bond selloff after RBI policy shift

Indian mutual funds have sold $4.5 billion in government bonds since July, prompted by changing rate expectations. The Reserve Bank of India raised rates for the first time in nearly four years, signaling further increases. Many asset managers are shifting to short-duration assets to mitigate risks associated with rising yields. Fund managers have noticed an increase in long-term bond yields reaching nearly three-year highs.
