On Wednesday, euro zone government bond yields held steady with marked attention on impending decisions from the U.S. Federal Reserve and a Bank of England meeting. In early trade, Germany's 10-year bond yield saw a marginal rise of 1 basis point to approximately 2.54%, receding from Tuesday's three-week highs.

The political landscape in Germany also captured interest following the election of Friedrich Merz as chancellor by parliament, amid an unusual defeat in an initial round of voting that set a shaky start for his coalition. Despite this, the Fed's rate decision remains paramount against a climate of concern over U.S. economic prospects amid trade tensions.

Analysts expect the Fed to keep rates unchanged while hinting at potential cuts later this year. Concurrently, the Bank of England, the Riksbank, and the Norges Bank are slated to convene on Thursday, adding to the financial market's anticipation.
