Bond yields edged higher on Thursday even after India's services industry slumped in September to a six-month low, led by a substantial easing in demand amid high inflation. The S&P Global India services Purchasing Managers' Index fell to 54.3 in September from August's 57.2. On the global front, Asian markets were trading mostly higher amid growing expectations of an economic rebound in China.
In the global market, Treasury yields rose on Wednesday after declining for two consecutive days at the start of the week, as uncertainty over future interest rate hikes continues and stock futures pull back.
