 "India's 10-year bond yield at over 13-month high as inflation disappoints")
Mumbai: India’s benchmark 10-year bond yield rose to its highest in over 13 months as higher-than-expected October inflation dashed rate cut expectations. The 10-year bond yield went up as high as 7.01 percent, the highest since 29 September 2016, after October inflation rose to 3.58 percent as food and fuel prices accelerated. The paper had closed at 6.97 percent on Monday.
