Rupee, bonds witness sell-off as crude oil, US Treasury yields rise
The rupee closed at 95.96 per dollar on Thursday, and the 10-year government bond yield rose 6 basis points, or 0.06 percentage points, to 7.11 per cent — its highest since May 21. Rising crude oil prices and US Treasury yields are behind the pressure. Importers face costlier dollar payments and higher borrowing costs. Watch your foreign exchange exposure and plan payments early.
