# India's 10-year bond posts best week in 7 years, leads emerging Asia as oil slides

> Indian government bonds outperformed emerging Asian peers, with the 10-year yield recording its steepest weekly drop since October 2019. A sharp fall in crude prices after the US midterm election outcome and renewed foreign investor buying supported the rally; cheaper oil also eased inflation and fiscal concerns in India.
