Bond prices are falling because yields are rising.
The US 10-year has touched about 5.3%, a two-decade high, after the worst Treasury quarter since 1994.
Why: sticky inflation, Fed hike bets, higher oil, heavy government and AI-related corporate issuance, and resilient growth. Softer August PCE did not stop the selloff.
US August PCE (the Fed’s preferred inflation gauge) is due tonight at 6:00 PM IST. Consensus expects some firming in core inflation.
Those celebrating a green Nifty should stay alert — a hot print can reverse risk appetite quickly.
Protect profits and manage risk.
Process note:
One session is not a sector call. Until crude and US yields ease, duration and discretionary sleeves need a written rationale — not a bounce chase.
Stay allocated. Rebalance. Don’t react to expiry noise.

Why it split this way:
Crude near $107 hit auto, chemicals, FMCG margins.
High US yields + FII selling hit realty and durables.
Weak rupee did not save IT — global risk-off won.
Expiry unwinding added beta selling.
Pharma/healthcare stayed defensive.
Sensex -243 at 72,529 | Nifty -64 at 22,716 after recovering from lows.
Drivers: crude near $107, FII selling, high US yields, weaker rupee + expiry unwind. IT & durables led losses.
Stay process-driven. One session is not a plan.

Do not read a rising yield as a rising bond price. Price and yield move in opposite directions. US 10-year near 5.21%. India 10-year near 7.17%. Existing bond holdings are marked down. New money earns more. Not advice. https://t.co/RYvDnoC42a #BondYields#PersonalFinance
Rising yields mean falling bond prices. India's 10-year is near 7.17%, a recent high, as US yields sit near 5.21% and Brent stays around $105. The import bill and the cost of money are moving together. Not advice. https://t.co/RYvDnoC42a #BondYields#India#Nifty
Don't catch a falling knife. Nifty is near 22,780, about 1.6% under Friday's 23,140. Seven red weeks is a trend, not a dip to buy on the way down. A weekly close has to turn first. Not advice. https://t.co/RYvDnoC42a #Nifty#StockMarket
Nifty has not printed one green weekly candle in 7 weeks. Friday was green. The week was not. Close: 23,140, about 12% under the 52-week high. This week has opened under that close. Not advice. https://t.co/RYvDnoC42a #Nifty#StockMarket#WeeklyChart
Bond prices are falling, not rising. The US 10-year is near 5.21%, India's 10-year near 7.17%. A higher yield is a lower price. Dearer government paper raises the hurdle for equities. Not advice. https://t.co/RYvDnoC42a #BondYields#Markets
On this day in 1907, Bhagat Singh was born in Banga. He was hanged in Lahore on 23 March 1931, aged 23, with Rajguru and Sukhdev. A revolutionary, and a writer who argued for a free mind as well as a free country. #BhagatSingh#BhagatSinghJayanti
War has not crashed the market in a day. It is still repricing it. Nifty is near 22,870, about 1.2% under Friday's 23,140. Brent is still ~$105-107. The US 10-year is near 5.2%. Oil and yields are the channel. Not advice. https://t.co/RYvDnoC42a #Nifty#CrudeOil#BondYields
