  "account": "Mumbai - Government bond yields climbed higher on Tuesday following the central bank's announcement of bond sales in the shorter duration segment on Friday, which added more supply to the bond market.

The previous high for the 10-year yield was 7.14%, acting as a resistance point. If the yield surpasses this threshold, a range of 7.20%-7.25% could be possible. Apart from expectations of a Fed rate increase, other factors that could trigger this movement include additional OMO (Open Market Operations) sales or a significant supply of state government bonds, as Rajeev Pawar, head of treasury at Ujjivan Small Finance Bank, explained.",
