Key Quotes
“Global bond yields continue to move higher, with German and U.S. 10yr yields at five months highs, facing the impact of major position squaring that kicked off with a fundamental shift several weeks ago. This is the same theme that markets have been struggling with for weeks; likely partially aggravated by Chair Yellen’s recognition that the long end is still low. This is then rippling across other markets.”
