  "account": "India's government bonds are poised for a stable opening on Thursday, with short-term debt possibly gaining some traction, according to market analysts. Investors are watching the movements of oil prices and US Treasuries, which have recently hit record highs, causing uncertainty for large importers such as India. The benchmark 6.94% 2036 bond is expected to trade between 6.94% and 6.99%, after closing at 6.9754% in the previous session, the highest since June 5th. While the longer-duration bonds may remain flat or even decline, shorter-duration debt could experience a surge in demand, fueled by larger-than-anticipated inflows from India's central bank schemes. Meanwhile, global oil prices and US Treasury yields remain elevated, putting pressure on India's inflation trajectory and government finances due to energy cost increases. Additionally, India recorded a significant inflow of $136.38 billion in foreign capital through various special government schemes, enhancing its capacity to stabilize the rupee against external shocks and bolster domestic liquidity. Indian banks mobilized $127.23 billion through non-resident foreign-currency deposits, alongside $3.89 billion in external commercial borrowings and $5.26 billion in overseas foreign-currency borrowings. These funds may partly be allocated towards the purchase of government bonds, particularly from foreign banks that lack substantial retail lending books. The one-year and two-year Indian overnight indexed swap rates are expected to fluctuate, with the one-year rate closing at 6% and the two-year rate at 6.22%. The five-year rate has increased by 3 basis points to 6.53%.",
