BONDS: German Yields remain elevated

Mar-05 10:34

German longer end Yields have led rallies Yesterday and into Today, both the 10yr and the 30yr have printed their highest levels since November 2023.

Looking at the shorter end 5s (Bobl), the Yield has managed to break above the February high but is still some way short of the January 2025 high of 2.463%, which was also its highest printed level since mid November 2024.

For the 2yr (Schatz) Yield, the February high comes at 2.187%, while most would be looking for resistance at 2.20% initially.

Today, reference 106.725:

  • 2.187% = 106.685.
  • 2.200% = 106.665.
