FRANKFURT (dpa-AFX) - German government bond prices rose slightly on Wednesday. The benchmark Euro Bund Future rose by 0.07 percent to 129.76 points. The yield on ten-year German government bonds was 2.68 percent.
The market initially lacked clear impetus. No important economic data will be published in either the eurozone or the US during the course of the day.
The US trade policy remains in the spotlight of the markets. President Donald Trump recently postponed the deadline for the US tariffs previously scheduled for this Wednesday to August 1. On Tuesday, he stated that this deadline would not be postponed any further.
"The risk sentiment is likely to remain solid for the time being, although further letters from Trump could of course quickly reverse the situation," commented experts at Commerzbank. "We see better chances for stabilization on the bond market after the auctions in Germany and Portugal this morning have been digested."/jsl/la/stk
