Long-term European government bond yields rose, tracking a jump in US Treasury yields after US inflation came in above expectations, boosting rate hike expectations.

The 10-year German bund yield briefly rose 4 basis points to 3.51%, before retreating to 3.46% by the close. The 2-year German bund yield fell 2 basis points to 3.13%; European Central Bank President Christine Lagarde said that rising energy prices have not yet passed through to the broader economy, a remark that supported short-term bonds.
