Reacting to firmer than expected data from the euro area’s biggest economy, German Bund yields rose while the EUR moved higher against its major currency peers. Meanwhile, the positive tone in the majority of EMU periphery sovereign bonds continued with yield premiums vs. their German peers remaining in a narrowing trend.
