Take the broad L&G India Government Bond exchange-traded fund, for instance.
Anticipating the Wall Street bank's decision, alongside Bloomberg's move to include India in a similar index next year, markets have partly pushed up bond prices in 2024 despite the risks of inflation reigniting.
While these moves by big Wall Street institutions might be lucrative for investors today, it's likely to dampen their returns over the longer term.
After all, as bond prices rise their yields fall.
