Bund Yield Rebounds
Germany's 10-year Bund yield erased earlier losses to rise to 3.28%, tracking the upward move in US Treasury yields, as stronger-than-expected US inflation data and hawkish remarks from Federal Reserve Governor Christopher Waller fueled concerns over further monetary tightening. Waller signaled the possibility of additional interest rate increases, while October's stronger-than-expected US inflation reinforced expectations of further Fed tightening in December, bringing a potential 50-basis-point rate hike into focus. Meanwhile, ongoing political and fiscal challenges in France, alongside uncertainty surrounding ECB President Christine Lagarde's potential early departure, added to concerns across European markets. On the monetary policy front, ECB Chief Economist Philip Lane indicated that another rate increase in December may be necessary, joining a growing number of policymakers supporting a third hike this year.
