[Rising Bond Yields in Europe and the U.S., Progress on U.S. Government Shutdown Resolution] Eurozone and U.S. government bond yields rose on Monday as the U.S. Senate advanced measures to end the federal government shutdown. The yield on Germany's 10-year government bond rose by 2.5 basis points to 2.699%, hitting its highest level since October 9. The yield on the U.S. 10-year Treasury note increased by approximately 4.5 basis points to 4.139%, while the 2-year Treasury yield rose by 4 basis points to 3.599%. Commerzbank interest rate strategist Rainer Guntermann stated that improved risk sentiment and reduced concerns about economic damage are putting pressure on the bond market. The yield on the U.S. 10-year Treasury note may rise to the upper end of its range, and the yield curve is steepening.
