Global Bond Markets React to Fiscal Pressures, Political Unrest, and Economic Uncertainty
Global bond markets showed mixed movements amid economic and political uncertainties. Eurozone government bonds stabilized after volatility, with French 10-year yields hitting a 24-year high due to fiscal deficits and social unrest, affecting Italy and Belgium as well. European stocks edged lower, pressured by weak luxury sales and rising oil prices. In Asia, Japanese banks reported increased corporate loan demand ahead of the Bank of Japan's policy meeting. Meanwhile, the spread between Indian and US 10-year bonds widened amid inflation and AI trade shifts. Investors sought safety in US Treasuries amid these global concerns.
