Bond yields near 7%: Should investors shift money to debt instruments amid equity volatility and F&O losses? | Mint
Bond yields have risen, and India’s 10-year government bond yield is now close to 7%. Equities remain rocky, and many futures and options (F&O) traders are facing losses. That makes fixed income look more attractive. But bond prices can fall if yields rise further. So spread your investment over time instead of putting everything in at once.
Key Statutory Highlights
- India’s 10-year government bond yield is near 7%, rising 47 basis points over the past year.
- According to a SEBI study, the average loss for an individual F&O trader rose to ₹1.17 lakh in FY26.
- Financial experts suggest staggering your money into bonds instead of investing everything at once.
Actionable Advice for Taxpayers / Founders:If you are shifting money to debt, consider investing in stages over a few months rather than all at once.
