Indian Equities
Indian stock market traded on a mixed note, with the BSE Sensex holding marginal gains and the NSE Nifty hovering near the 24,621 mark, mirroring mixed cues from Asian markets and Wall Street. Sectoral performance remained divided, as buying interest in PSU banks and healthcare helped offset selling pressure in the power and realty sectors. Meanwhile, notable corporate updates featured strong quarterly earnings reports for Q1 FY27 from major firms like Biocon, Navin Fluorine, and Aurobindo Pharma, all of which posted significant increases in their consolidated net profits and operational revenues.

Indian Government Bonds
India's 10-year government bond yield eased to approximately 6.79%, supported by a sharp decline in global crude oil prices and investor focus on the Reserve Bank of India's (RBI) upcoming policy announcements. Market sentiment remains influenced by recent global index decisions and domestic debt auctions.

The 10-year benchmark bond yield was trading at 6.767%.
