German bund yields remain low as risks abound
Thursday 21st January '21
German Bund yields have remained largely rangebound since the second half of last year. 10-year Bund yields are currently hovering around -52bps. With Europe still caught in the grip of the pandemic and strict lockdowns in place in many countries, an economic recovery remains perilous for the next few months. Fourth-quarter gross domestic product (GDP) forecasts for the Eurozone are humbling as the pandemic has withheld economic activity from accelerating. Monetary policy from the European Central Bank (ECB) is expected to remain accommodative in the near-term.
