Euro zone bond yields fall as April 2 tariff date looms
Mar 28, 2025 1:25 AM

LONDON, March 28 (Reuters) - Euro zone bond yields fell

to their lowest in three weeks on Friday as investors braced for

U.S. President Donald Trump to announce reciprocal tariffs on

April 2.

Trump on Wednesday unveiled a 25% tariff on imported cars

and light trucks starting next week, which has also dented

investor sentiment, and has long promised to announce more

tariffs that match the trade levies other countries charge on

Wednesday next week.

Germany's 10-year bond yield, the benchmark for

the euro zone, was down 5 basis points to 2.723%, the lowest

since March 5. Yields move inversely to prices.

Italy's 10-year yield was 4 bps lower at 3.841%,

and the gap between Italian and German yields

stood at 110 bps.

Germany's two-year bond yield, which is sensitive

to European Central Bank rate expectations, was 2 bps lower at

2.039%.
