Volatility has become the standard for government bonds, with fluctuating interest rates causing yields to swing unpredictably
European Bonds Rebound Amid Ongoing Market Uncertainty
On Thursday, European government bonds regained ground after a sharp decline in the previous session, as markets remain unsettled by a tentative ceasefire in the Middle East. Investors are facing heightened volatility, making it difficult to predict future interest rate decisions from the Bank of England and the European Central Bank.
Yields on 10-year Gilts, which serve as the standard for U.K. government bonds, increased by over 6 basis points to reach 4.775% on Thursday, following a significant 21 basis point drop the day before. Meanwhile, the yield on 2-year Gilts rose by 7 basis points to 4.245%, after falling 25 basis points in the prior session.

Deutsche Bank: Central bank gold purchases and ETF inflows put gold in an "explosive" rally phase
Deutsche Bank believes that the fifth "explosive" upward phase in gold, which began in 2024, is still ongoing. Central bank gold demand, measured in actual US dollars, has reached a record high, with about half of the demand not reported to the IMF. Global ETF inflows have turned positive again, with Asian buying being particularly notable. The bank has set a year-end target range for gold at $4,700–$5,100 per ounce, with the core driver being the continued expansion of U.S. government debt. Current futures positions remain low, and the upside potential has not yet been fully priced in.
