India bonds extend recovery tracking rise in U.S. Treasuries
Indian government bonds saw gains for a second straight session on Thursday. This followed overnight increases in U.S. Treasuries after softer economic data emerged. Softer U.S. inflation data eased concerns about an imminent Federal Reserve rate hike. Lower U.S. yields eased pressure on emerging-market debt, helping Indian bonds recover. State-run lenders and foreign investors actively bought bonds, adding support.
