Meanwhile, the policy-sensitive two-year yield steadied at 4.05%, consolidating after striking a one-week low in the previous session.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The geopolitical premium that fueled hawkish central bank bets during the war was showing clear signs of fading. According to the CME FedWatch Tool, the implied probability of a December rate hike has now come down to just 40% \u2014 a dramatic retreat from the near-70% probability priced just a week ago.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">European Bonds at a Critical Juncture<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Meanwhile, the yield on Germany&#8217;s 10-year Bund \u2014 the Eurozone&#8217;s benchmark \u2014 hovered at two-week lows of 2.92%. The policy-sensitive two-year note, which moves in lockstep with European Central Bank policy expectations, also hovered at a matching two-week low.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The truce leaves European sovereign debt at a critical juncture relative to its peers across the Atlantic. During the conflict, U.S. Treasuries absorbed the bulk of traditional safe-haven flows. In contrast, European paper severely underperformed as investors feared a catastrophic, localized energy shock.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Any sustained recovery for Eurozone debt now hinges on whether central bankers will look through the recent price spikes or maintain their restrictive posture.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Key Takeaways U.S. 10-year at 1-month low: The benchmark Treasury yield drifted to 4.43% as fixed-income markets aggressively priced out worst-case inflation scenarios. 2-year yield steadies: The policy-sensitive rate held at 4.05% after striking a one-week low in the prior session.
