Bhongir in Yadadri Bhuvanagiri district (old Nalgonda) has a historic setting rooted in the idealism of a bygone era but it now hosts an election contest that mirrors the realities of new-age politics, driven by resourceful candidates in pursuit of state power. Bhongir also has been a landmark in the long history of agitation and struggle in the erstwhile united Andhra Pradesh state for creating a new Telangana state. Much before K Chandrashekhar Rao and his TRS (now BRS) came to be identified as the harbingers of Telangana state, it was here way back in 1996, when the now defunct Telangana Jana Sabha, enjoying the patronage of the Maoists and other activists, passed the 'Bhongir Telangana Declaration', de manding a separate state. Once the hotbed of Maoism and the People's War Group, Bhongir has seen many mobilisations as well as many bloody encounters and murders including that of Belli Lalitha, the revolutionary folk singer.

10-year Treasury yields declined on Tuesday, near two-month lows after data on the housing market and consumer, along with comments from Federal Reserve officials. The S&P CoreLogic Case-Shiller national home price index posted a 3.9% increase in September on an annual basis, below the 4.0% estimate but stronger than the 2.5% rise in August, suggesting the housing market may be picking up steam. A separate report from the Conference Board showed its consumer confidence index climbed to 101.0 in November, below the expected 102.0 but above the downwardly revised 99.1 in the prior month. Despite a climb last week, the 10-year yield is on track for its biggest monthly decline since August 2019, as investors largely believe the Federal Reserve is done with its interest rate hike cycle and attempts to price in when the central bank will instead cut rates. The sharp drop has pushed the 10-year yield near its lowest levels since late September. «The market does a good job of getting itself excited for rate cuts and then overly pessimistic on rate cuts and then overly pessimistic on more hikes and we kind of swing the pendulum from one extreme to the other,» said Thomas Urano, co-chief investment officer at Sage Advisory in Austin. «We're at the bottom end of this recent range trade and I think the market is has gotten a little bit ahead of itself in expecting the Fed to cut so aggressively absent a sudden downward change in the economic data.» Softening economic data, including a reading on inflation two weeks ago, has fueled expectations the Fed will hold rates at their current level, while pricing in a slightly greater than 50% chance of a rate cut of at least 25 basis points in May, according to CME's FedWatch Tool.
