* Fitch Retains India’s Rating at BBB-, Sees 6.4% GDP Growth: Fitch Ratings has affirmed India’s sovereign credit rating at ‘BBB-’ with a stable outlook for the 20th consecutive year, citing a robust growth outlook and strong external finances. The agency expects India’s GDP to grow 6.4% in FY27, despite near-term risks from the West Asia energy shock. Fitch, however, flagged potential fiscal spending pressures from rising youth concerns over jobs and education, while noting that India’s high dependence on imported crude remains a key external risk. It expects the current account deficit to widen to 1.4% of GDP in FY27 from 0.6% in FY26, while forex reserves are projected at $733 billion by FY27-end.
Global News
* Chinese Auto Suppliers Tighten Grip on Europe’s Automotive Supply Chain: Chinese auto parts makers are steadily expanding their presence in Europe, having invested in more than 130 European automotive suppliers since the mid-2000s, primarily across Germany and France. The acquisitions are raising concerns among EU policymakers and automakers, as Chinese companies seek to gain local production capabilities, technology and access to Europe’s automotive market. The push is being supported by rising trade barriers and proposed EU local-content rules, making acquisitions an attractive route to secure “Made in EU” status. With Europe’s auto component sector already facing financial stress and job losses, policymakers are increasingly concerned that continued Chinese investments could reshape the region’s supply chain and create strategic and dependency risks.

Global Debt Market:
Treasury yields moved higher on Tuesday as tensions in the Middle East continue to weigh on energy prices and investors look ahead to inflation data due later in the week. The yield on the 10-year Treasury note — the main benchmark for mortgages, auto loans and credit card debt — increased 3 basis points to 4.7334% in early trade. Shorter- and longer-term yields also moved higher. The yield on the 2- year Treasury note, which typically tracks short-term Federal Reserve interest rate decisions, was up by more than 2 basis points at 4.2597%. The 30-year Treasury yield, which is typically more sensitive to geopolitical events, rose more than 3 basis points to 5.2790%. The rise in borrowing costs comes as hopes of a deal to end the conflict in the Middle East appeared to fade this week, after President Donald Trump responded to Iranian demands for reparations by suggesting Tehran itself must pay the U.S. compensation for the war. Oil prices moved higher on Tuesday following Trump’s comments that the U.S. now has control of the Strait of Hormuz. U.S. West Texas Intermediate futures were last seen 1.78% higher in early trade at $83.58, while Brent crude futures, the international price benchmark, rose 1.81% to $89.25 per barrel. Government bond yields finished Monday’s session higher, with both 10-year and 30-year Treasury yields up 4 basis points. As markets digest Trump’s compensation demands and the impact of the latest Middle East developments on the inflation picture and the Fed’s interest rate path, traders are also awaiting more domestic economic data releases this week.
10 Year Benchmark Technical View :
The 10 year Benchmark (6.94% GS 2036) yield likely to move in the range of 6.76% to 6.7775% level on Wednesday.
