  "account": "Mumbai experienced a surge in the Indian government bond market on Friday as the benchmark 10-year yield crossed the 7% mark for the first time in over three months. This significant increase was driven by rising oil prices and higher US yields, prompting investors to sell their bonds. The benchmark 6.94% 2036 bond yield reached an all-time high of 7.0226%, surpassing the previous peak of 6.9762% seen on Thursday. The surge in yields indicates that global bond markets are undergoing a major meltdown, with interest rate hikes anticipated across major economies in the coming weeks.\n\nUS yields continued their upward trend, with the 10-year note further extending its rise in Asian trading hours. This surge in yields was fueled by expectations of a Federal Reserve interest rate hike next week, as data released showed a 5.4% increase in the US producer price index for the year through August. The bets for a 25-basis-point rate hike on Wednesday rose to 72%, up from 62% earlier, according to the CME FedWatch tool.\n\nThe prospect of a rate hike from the Federal Reserve has also impacted bond yields in other countries. Germany's 10-year yield reached its highest level in more than 15 years, while Japan's equivalent bond yield jumped to levels last seen in September 1996.\n\nThe surge in oil prices, which comfortably moved above the $100 per barrel mark, was a significant contributor to the rise in bond yields. This price increase was largely due to an escalating Middle East conflict, which continues to disrupt global fuel supplies and energy prices. Yemen's port of Mocha was seized by the Houthis, posing a further threat to Red Sea traffic, while Gulf traffic remained restricted through the Strait of Hormuz. As the world's third-largest oil importer, India faces the potential for a swollen import bill and heightened inflation due to the rising cost of crude.",
  "summary": "MUMBAI: Indian government bonds plunged in early trade on Friday, with the benchmark 10-year yield topping 7% for the first time in more than three months as rising oil prices and US yields drove investors to sell.
