Euro zone government bond yields rose on Wednesday as double-digit UK inflation data shifted investors’ focus back to potential further monetary tightening in the euro area. Investors were also awaiting minutes of the U.S. Federal Reserve’s most recent meeting, due out at 2 p.m. EDT (1800 GMT), which might provide additional hawkish signals. Germany’s two-year government bond yields, which are sensitive to rate hike expectations, rose 15 basis points (bps) to 0.72%, the highest since July 21. The 10-year yield was up 10 bps to 1.08%, at its highest since July 22.
