Monthly market comment
March, yields rose, in some cases significantly. The 5-year Bund yield rose at times by more than 50 basis points to nearly 2.9%. The main reason was the USA/Iran-conflict, which weighed on the oil market and significantly increased global energy prices. The rise in yields reflected a reassessment of inflation risks, which were already evident in the inflation data for Germany. The preliminary inflation rate for March rose to 2.7%. The combination of rising inflation and potential growth risks increased uncertainty in the bond markets. The market subsequent-ly priced in two ECB rate hikes for 2026. Although key interest rates remained unchanged in March, the tone of central bankers was already more restrictive. Bond prices consequently fell across the board. Additionally, ris-ing risk premiums in the credit segment weighed on the market.
