MUMBAI, Feb 13 (Reuters) - Indian government bond yields are expected to trend higher this week, as sentiment stays bearish, but debt as well as the local currency will track U.S. and India inflation data.
India's headline retail inflation print is due on Monday, followed by U.S. retail inflation on Tuesday.
Bond yields jumped after the RBI highlighted core inflation concerns, keeping the door open for another hike.
The rupee will take its cues from the U.S. inflation print and its impact on the dollar index, a trader with a private bank said.
For the week, the currency could move between 82.10 and 82.80 unless the U.S. inflation data is a big surprise, dealers said.
