Representative image. Indian government bond yields have risen steadily in recent days, with the benchmark 10-year yield spiking to a three-year high of 7.47 percent on May 9. Record debt supply, reversal of easy money policies both in India and the United States, coupled with elevated oil prices have exerted pressure on bond yields, which move in the opposite direction to prices.

New C-Class Mercedes-Benz, the country’s largest maker of luxury cars by volume, recently launched its entry-level premium sedan the C-class at a price that’s higher than ever before, but the Stuttgart-based auto major doesn’t see that as a barrier to pushing sales and driving volumes.

A super slide for stocks, bonds, and cryptocurrencies rolled all the way into last week, right up until Friday, when the Nasdaq posted its strongest one-day gain since November of 2020.
