  "account": "Mumbai: Corporations have been actively issuing bonds worth over Rs 17,000 crore this week, as government bond yields rose due to declining oil prices, traders note. The surge in debt issuance suggests that current low borrowing rates may not persist. The 10-year yield stood at 7.30% on Tuesday, down from 7.50% the previous week. Companies such as public sector entities Nabard, REC, and Sidbi, along with private firms like Bajaj Housing Finance, Lloyds Metals & Energy, and Tata Capital Housing Finance, are among those tapping the debt markets this week. Venkatakrishnan Srinivasan, founder and managing partner at debt advisory firm Rockfort Fincap LLP, says the recent rally in bond prices is prompting issuers to act quickly. However, a 10-year yield below 7.30% may prove short-lived unless oil prices continue to fall and global bond yields drop significantly. Traders remain uncertain about the sustainability of the rally, as yields have fallen by around 20 basis points in the past two weeks, with limited potential for further easing. The US mid-term elections and their impact on the West Asia crisis are expected to influence the benchmark yield in November, which may trade in the range of 7.25-7.35%, with risks leaning towards the upside, according to Dipanwita Mazumdar, an economist at Bank of Baroda.",
  "summary": "Corporate debt issuances have seen significant growth as many companies seek to capitalize on favorable borrowing conditions. The aggregate debt proposed to be raised this week surpasses Rs 17,000 crore. Experts suggest that current bond yields below 7.30% may not remain stable for long. The outcome of upcoming US midterm elections may influence future market conditions significantly.",
