  "summary": "US Treasury yields have risen to their highest levels since 2007, causing concern among Asia's policymakers. A recent $42 billion auction of 10-year notes cleared at 4.683%, with investors demanding higher yields to fund US borrowing.\n\nThe Hindu BusinessLine reports that Indian government bonds are expected to see positive momentum due to easing oil prices and lower US Treasury yields. The yield on the benchmark 6.94% 2036 bond is expected to be in the 6.75% to 6.78% range.\n\nThe Indian government is set to raise ₹320 billion through a bond sale, including two new securities. According to the Hindu BusinessLine, oil prices eased due to signs of weaker global demand and a build in US crude inventories, with Brent crude trading below $87 a barrel. The 10-year US Treasury yield was around 4.65%.",
