Despite a potential ECB rate cut, market sentiment remains cautious due to mixed signals from the ECB and vital upcoming economic data. The evolving geopolitical landscape continues influencing bond market dynamics.
Euro area government bond yields fell on Monday as investors responded to recent trade agreements between the U.S. and major economies. Though broadly anticipated, these agreements have provided some clarity in a fluctuating global trade environment.
