The good (central banks), the bad (inflation) and the ugly (tapering)
Summary: Yesterday's disastrous 15-year Bund auction showed investors that the bond yields can only go higher. Yet, until the German election, the European sovereign space will mimic the US Treasury market. US Treasury yields are trading rangebound since March, and the unprecedented tsunami of liquidity keeps US yields in check. However, we believe that inflationary pressures and tapering fears will put US yields back on track to 2% by summer. Therefore, we may see Bund yields turning positive before the German elections.
