ETMarkets Smart Talk | Bonds aren’t boring: Where Devang Shah sees the best fixed-income opportunities
Economic Times 2 hrs ago·22 Aug 2026, 3:59 am
Fixed-income investors are increasingly looking beyond traditional bank deposits as interest rates remain in a volatile range. The Reserve Bank of India (RBI) continues to monitor global factors, including geopolitical tensions and crude oil price fluctuations, which can impact inflation and monetary policy. This cautious stance by the central bank suggests that while the bond market offers opportunities, it requires careful navigation to manage risks effectively.
For retail investors, this environment highlights the importance of diversification within the debt portfolio. With the RBI balancing growth and inflation control, bond yields are likely to stay dynamic. Investors should focus on credit quality and duration to mitigate volatility. Staying informed about global economic cues will be crucial for making sound decisions in this evolving market landscape.
