Hedge funds cut NFLX, keep big bets on MSFT, AMZN, add NVDA
Investing.com -- German 10-year Bund yields reached a 12-day high on Tuesday as investors exercised caution ahead of U.S. inflation data scheduled for release at 1230 GMT.
The upcoming U.S. inflation figures could potentially show that American tariffs are contributing to higher prices, which might cast doubt on whether the Federal Reserve will proceed with an interest rate cut in September.
According to Commerzbank (ETR:CBKG) rates strategists, the inflation data could trigger a rise in yields, and bond investors are approaching the release with caution. This cautious sentiment is currently outweighing concerns about weakness in the eurozone economy, the strategists noted.
The market’s focus on the U.S. data meant that Bund yields showed minimal reaction to ZEW data released Tuesday, which revealed that German confidence in the economy declined more than anticipated in August.
The 10-year German Bund yield increased by approximately 1 basis point to 2.711% as markets awaited the U.S. inflation report.
