Domestic yields moderated during July as global growth concerns has eased concerns around
continued aggressive central bank tightening. Inflation has also started to moderate with the
current inflation trajectory undershooting the RBI’s projections for Q1 and Q2 of FY2023. In this
backdrop, markets are anticipating that the RBI will take the policy rate to slightly above the prepandemic
level of around 5.50% and turn data-dependent before deciding on the future course
of action. Yields should therefore find support around the current levels until further cues and
future trajectory would be shaped by the evolving demand-supply dynamics.
