On Tuesday, euro zone government bonds stayed in a waiting mode as investors anticipated a key symposium featuring global central bank leaders. This follows significant discussions in Washington aimed at forging a peace resolution for the ongoing conflict in Ukraine.
NATO Secretary General Mark Rutte highlighted the success of U.S. President Donald Trump's recent meetings with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskiy and European leaders.
