US treasury bond yields have reached record levels, with the 10-year yield at 5.18% and the 30-year at 5.47%, according to NavBharat Times. This rise makes US dollar assets more attractive, increasing the risk of capital outflows from emerging markets like India. The situation has raised concerns in global markets about potential impacts on foreign investment in India.
Impact Foreign investors may withdraw funds from India due to more attractive US yields.
