Nifty 50 today: Frontline indices the Nifty 50 and the Sensex ended in the red on Wednesday, October 4, extending losses into the second consecutive session, amid a sharp rise in the US bond yields and dollar.

"An unrelenting selloff in world government bond markets pushed US 30-year Treasury yields to 5 per cent for the first time since 2007 and Germany's 10-year borrowing costs to 3 per cent on Wednesday, moves that could hasten a global economic slowdown," reported Reuters.

Rohit Agarwal, Senior Fund Manager, Kotak Life Insurance, says “even though India might outperform in the global terms, India will not be immune to global challenges. India will not be immune to the yield rates. For example, if the US 10-year is yielding 5% today, why should a US investor put his money outside his country at all? You are getting risk-free 5% in that country and that is a call that many asset allocators might take and that might impact some flows here and there. But on a standalone basis, India will still stand out in the world as a better place to be in.” What is happening to the global arena right now? Do you think this is just the start of a downturn or this is something that the Indian market will take in its stride and the outperformance will continue? As you said, these are volatile times and though we have not seen some of these yields in the last two decades or so, that does not mean that we do not know how to handle it. It means is there are macro issues on the corner, at the horizon, obviously especially on the global side.
