Euro Zone Bonds Hold Steady Amid Easing Global Tensions

Euro zone government bond yields remained stable on Tuesday as concerns about U.S. regional banks' health and U.S.-China trade tensions lessened.

Euro zone government bond yields remained stable on Tuesday amid easing concerns over U.S. regional banks' health and U.S.-China trade tensions. Attention has now turned towards upcoming speeches from European Central Bank officials.

Among those scheduled to speak are ECB chief Christine Lagarde and other key policymakers. This represents one of the last opportunities to influence policy direction before the blackout period starts on Thursday, preceding next week's critical rate-setting meeting.

Germany's 10-year bond yield dipped slightly, down less than a basis point to 2.579%, continuing a trend that began last week as investors pursued safe-haven assets. Meanwhile, France's 10-year yield also saw a minor decline, maintaining the spread over the German yields.
