Sensex today: The benchmark indices are expected to open lower on Tuesday tracking Asian markets which slipped and the US dollar advanced as a deluge of US government debt this week and the specter of inflation and a higher fiscal deficit drove US borrowing costs near four-year highs.
MSCI's broadest index of Asia-Pacific shares outside Japan fell 0.25 per cent. Japan's Nikkei rose 0.7 per cent thanks to fall in the yen.
US bond prices have fallen for the past four days, pushing up the 10-year yield to 2.998 per cent, its highest level since January 2014. Inflation worries are also mounting as oil and commodity prices have been rising in recent weeks. Investors are concerned that US inflation, long subdued since the financial crisis a decade ago, could gain momentum as President Donald Trump’s tax cuts this year could stimulate an economy already near or at full employment.
