India's JPM index hopeful bonds see selling after RBI FPI cap
India's 15-year and 40-year government bond prices fall after central bank puts a cap on unlimitedforeign investment in longer duration bonds, traders say
Both 15-year 7.23% 2039 IN072339G=CC and 40-year 7.34% 2064 bonds IN073464G=CC were down 20-23 paisa on Tuesday; yields at 6.99% and 7.09% respectively
On Monday, RBI said new government bonds with a 14-year and 30-year tenor will no longer be accessible to foreign investors under the fully accessible route
"The move is definitely surprising, and completely rules out addition of any more longer duration papers in FAR for near future," trader with a primary dealership says
Traders were anticipating inclusion of liquid and regularly issued 15-year and 40-year papers in FAR
Most bonds under FAR are a part of JPMorgan's emerging market debt index, and bonds not a part of FAR will not be included, thus leading to selling
