India's sovereign bonds that qualify for inclusion in major global indexes are experiencing record-breaking monthly outflows. The culprit? A weakening rupee combined with market signals that the Reserve Bank is wrapping up its interest-rate cutting cycle. The combination is creating headwinds for foreign investors holding these securities. When central banks signal they're nearing the end of easing, it typically pressures emerging market currencies and bond valuations. The rupee's deterioration makes dollar-denominated returns less attractive, while the prospect of stabilized (or eventually rising) rates removes the incentive for yield-hunting flows. This dynamic mirrors similar patterns across emerging markets when monetary policy cycles shift.

The rupee has depreciated again and again, Indian bonds are bleeding nonstop... The RBI is still pretending to continue cutting interest rates, who are they fooling?

Indian bonds are fleeing, the rupee is depreciating + the central bank has halted rate cuts, foreign capital is directly buying the dip and exiting... This is the fate of emerging markets.

Has the rupee fallen again? This wave of capital outflow from Indian bonds is truly remarkable, with foreign investors directly fleeing.

Indian bonds are being massively divested? The rupee is depreciating again, and the RBI is still stopping interest rate cuts... Now foreign capital really should exit.
