A Look at the ECB and the US Interest Market
Currently, the ECB deposit rate stands at 2%. This stability reflects the cautious monetary policy of the European Central Bank, which aims to control inflation while supporting economic growth. In contrast, the US yield curve shows a clear upward trend: The interest rates for two-year bonds are at 3.57%, while 30-year bonds rise to 4.73%.

These differences in interest rates could be significant for investors, particularly for those investing in bond ETFs. Higher interest rates in the US may lead investors to increasingly invest in US bonds, which could put pressure on the demand for European bonds. This could result in yields in the Eurozone appearing less attractive compared to those in the US.
Impacts on the Bond Markets
The yield curve shows a clear trend: the longer the maturity, the higher the yield. This means that investors willing to lock in their capital for a longer period may potentially benefit from higher returns. However, they should also consider the risks of interest rate changes, especially in a volatile market environment.
The distribution of interest rates across different maturities is crucial for investors to choose the right strategy and manage risk appropriately.
