ETMarkets Smart Talk – FPI outflows from Indian bonds likely tactical profit booking, says Puneet Pal of PGIM India AMC

Puneet Pal of PGIM India AMC suggests that recent FPI outflows from Indian debt markets are likely due to profit-taking and narrowing interest rate differentials, not fundamental weaknesses. He highlights the attractiveness of 3-6 year AAA PSU bonds due to stable rates and appealing spreads. Pal recommends a 12-18 month investment horizon for short-term and corporate bond funds.
