German Bund Yield Stuck in Mid-3.2% Range Amid Oil Price Volatility
The German 10-year bund yield has been trading in a flat range of mid-3.2% as of 4:00 p.m. UK time on the 21st.
This is consistent with the previous day's level at the same time, indicating a lack of clear directional conviction in the market.
The trading activity has been centered around position adjustments, rather than taking new positions.
Crude oil futures have risen due to ongoing turmoil in the Middle East and persistent inflation concerns are weighing on longer-dated German bonds.
