French 10-Year OAT Yield Rebounds
France's 10-year OAT yield rebounded to 4.75%, tracking higher US Treasury yields as stronger-than-expected US inflation data and hawkish comments from Federal Reserve Governor Christopher Waller heightened expectations of further monetary tightening. Waller signaled the possibility of additional rate increases, while October's elevated inflation reinforced expectations of further Fed tightening in December, bringing a potential 50-basis-point hike into focus. Meanwhile, France's ongoing political and fiscal challenges, coupled with uncertainty surrounding ECB President Christine Lagarde's potential early departure, continued to weigh on sentiment across European bond markets. On the monetary policy front, ECB Chief Economist Philip Lane suggested that another rate increase in December may be necessary, adding to a growing number of policymakers advocating a third hike this year.
