STUTTGART (BOERSE STUTTGART GMBH) - Bunds/government bonds

The focus on the bond markets has once again shifted to international monetary policy and the question of whether the US Federal Reserve and the ECB will manage to prevent a hard landing for the two economies. After inflation has calmed down in recent weeks, investors are now looking anxiously at the economic data, most of which has recently been weaker than expected. In a new assessment, the Kiel Institute for the World Economy (IfW) therefore expects Germany's economic output to shrink this year. Gross domestic product is likely to fall by 0.1% this year compared to the previous year. Private consumption is weak, while industry and the construction sector have slipped deeper into recession. The Euro-Bund future fell over the course of the week and stood at 134.58 points on Thursday morning. The yield on the 10-year Bund stands at 2.211%, slightly below the previous week's level of 2.239%. The yield on the 30-year Bund has also fallen. It stood at 2.487% a week ago and is currently at 2.459%.
