Mizuho Securities: The Federal Reserve may cut interest rates again, and U.S. Treasury yields are expected to decline further.
Mizuho Securities stated that, given the Federal Reserve is likely to cut interest rates again, US Treasury yields may decline further. Hidehiro Joke, a senior bond strategist at Mizuho, indicated that Fed rate cuts would put pressure on the entire yield curve. The Fed's rate cuts "will also lower financing costs and stimulate carry trades, generating interest among investors including those from Japan in purchasing US bonds." Joke commented, "Policymakers and central bank officials tend to avoid expressing overly pessimistic views about the economy. Considering Trump's personality, he is unlikely to proactively state that the economy is weak. Therefore, I believe there are not many market participants who will take Trump's remarks from Sunday seriously."

European bond market: German bonds further decline as the European Central Bank's interest rate cut expectations weaken.
Bonds in Europe continued to decline, with market concerns about Germany's plan to release hundreds of billions of dollars to strengthen military defenses in the region further escalating, pushing the German 10-Year Treasury Notes Yield to its highest level in nearly a year and a half. The European Central Bank's interest rate cut was in line with market expectations and suggested a potential end to the easing cycle soon, leading traders to reduce bets on further rate cuts. The yield on 10-Year German Bonds rose by 8 basis points to 2.88%, the highest since October 2023; as the market increasingly worries about Germany ramping up debt, yields have soared by nearly 50 basis points this week, marking the largest weekly increase since early 1990.
