On Friday, the yield on ten-year German government bonds reached a four-month peak. This is due to the weakening of confidence in the ECB's imminent rate cut and the outflow of funds from safe haven assets. Additionally, the markets are positive about the trade negotiations between the US and the EU. The ECB kept the deposit rate at 2%, which coincided with forecasts. The head of the regulator, Christine Lagarde, noted the opportunity to monitor the situation in the coming months without changing the monetary policy. The yield on two-year German bonds increased by 3.6 bps, reaching its highest level since April 3. The yield on ten-year German bonds rose by 6 bps, the highest since the end of March. Italian government bonds also rose by 7 bps. The gap between the yields of German and Italian securities was 88.2 bps.
