[German 10-year bond yield falls to 3.47% as oil prices decline] ⑴ The yield on German 10-year bonds fell to 3.47%, retreating from a 17-year high reached last week, as Brent crude oil prices fell toward $100 per barrel, and initial signs of improvement in the geopolitical outlook emerged. ⑵ Increased regional oil flows eased pressure on the physical market. ⑶ Meanwhile, Germany's ruling Christian Democratic Union (CDU) suffered its worst state election results in history, failing to win a single seat, with some members calling for Merz to step down after only 16 months in office. ⑷ French public finances are also under increasing scrutiny, with Scope Ratings downgrading the country's rating and Morningstar DBRS revising its outlook to negative, increasing uncertainty ahead of next year's presidential election.
