> Indian government bonds rallied on Wednesday as the 10-year G-Sec yield fell 12 basis points to 7.19%, its biggest one-day drop in about six months. The rupee gained for a fourth straight session to close at 94.64 per dollar, after Democrats won control of the US Congress and US Treasury yields and crude prices eased.
