Experts caution investors in longer-duration debt funds to exercise patience, anticipating potential delays in rate cuts despite global factors driving up yields. The benchmark 10-year government security (G-Sec) yield rose from 7.01% to 7.19%, prompting anxiety among investors betting on mark-to-market (MTM) gains. Geopolitical risks impacting crude prices and currency, coupled with strong US data delaying US Federal Reserve (Fed) rate cut expectations, have led to a rise in US treasury yields, influencing domestic yields. With upward revisions in US GDP growth projections and persistent inflation, investors are advised to await rate cuts cautiously amidst evolving economic dynamics.
