Germany’s 10-year Bund yield climbed above 3.25%, reaching its highest level since March 2011, as government bonds came under renewed selling pressure globally. The move was driven largely by fading hopes for a quick resolution to the Iran conflict, which pushed oil prices higher and revived concerns over persistent inflation. Broader concerns about fiscal sustainability in major economies, including France, Japan, the UK and the US, also weighed on government debt markets. Markets are increasingly pricing a tighter path for European monetary policy, with the ECB deposit rate seen at 2.76% by March 2027 versus the current 2.25%, alongside more than a 90% probability of a September rate hike. In the US, softer economic indicators have reduced expectations for an imminent Fed rate hike.
