European bond markets showed stabilizing trends today.
The announcement of US inflation (up 8.3% in August) which is estimated to be pressuring the Fed for bold rate hikes, did not “touch” European bonds.
Developments on the other side of the Atlantic, however, caused pressure on the euro, as a result of which it lost much of the gains of the previous days.
In HDAT, transactions of 54 million euros were recorded, of which 32 million euros related to purchase orders. The yield on the 10-year bond stood at 4.20% from 4.26% yesterday versus 1.71% for the corresponding German bond, bringing the spread to 2.49% from 2.58% that closed yesterday.
