Indian shares edge higher as traders assess global rate signalling this week

Indian equity markets traded mildly higher as investors tracked global bond yields, US policy expectations and cross-asset volatility positioning. Banking, oil & gas and select IT names supported intraday recovery while traders remained cautious about positioning ahead of multiple inflation data points scheduled during the coming US macro print window. Analysts noted that foreign institutional flows remain sensitive to global rates and dollar strength. Market participants expect short-term moves to stay range-bound until clarity emerges on how US economic releases influence broader cross-asset direction and risk appetite.
