To some extent, government bond yields around the world are interdependent. Ultra-low government bond yields in Germany and Japan have helped to restrain U.S. Treasury yields. It makes sense that some demand for German bond yields would shift to U.S. Treasuries as the yield gap between them grows. The extra demand for Treasuries, in this case, would limit the upside for yields. Yet on Thursday, even as Treasury yields rose intraday, global bond yields were climbing even faster. The 10-year German government bond rose about 6 basis points to 0.54%. An easing of concern about Italy's fiscal predicament contributed to the rise in German yields. Meanwhile, the European Central Bank said last month that it would cut its bond-buying program in half starting this month and phase it out by year-end, as long as economic data remain firm.
