Bond yields ease as crude steadies ahead of Fed decision

Bond yields ease as crude steadies ahead of Fed decision

The benchmark yield dipped to about 7.47%, but a weak rupee near 95 per dollar and a big state loan auction kept traders cautious.

India's benchmark 2036 bond yield fell 1 basis point to 7.4732% in early trade on Tuesday as Brent crude slipped about 1% to $114.5 a barrel.

The rupee was steady at 95.22 per dollar after three days of losses.

A fund manager said the RBI could raise rates between meetings if crude stays above $100 and the rupee weakens towards 96.
