Global bond rout pushes euro zone yields higher; bunds at 15-year peak

Euro zone bond yields rose amid a global selloff, with the German 10-year bond reaching a 15-year high at 3.1796%. Concerns over inflation due to rising energy prices from the Middle East conflict are prompting fears of further interest rate hikes. Italian 10-year yields also increased, while UK gilt yields fell amid political uncertainty. Analysts expect Bunds to remain stable as markets await upcoming economic data, with an 85% chance of a 25 bps hike at the ECB's next meeting.
