The prices of German, French and Italian bonds have all decreased, with bundle yields at 10 years – the reference loan rate for the euro zone – reaching the highest in more than two weeks. While the withdrawal of the link has slowed down, the European Stoxx 600 index has extended the gains to increase by 0.5%, and a Goldman Sachs Group Inc. index of European defense actions exceeded a record.
The German defense company Rheinmetall AG jumped 14%, helping to raise the Frankfurt Stock Exchange to a new record – the 17th of the year. The American markets are closed for a vacation, but the term contracts on American actions have climbed. Bitcoin dropped up to 1.9%.
The movements have occurred while the United States has asked European nations to specify guarantees and security equipment, they can offer Ukraine to ensure lasting peace regulations. European officials say they are working on a major package to increase defense spending and that some EU leaders meet in Paris to write their response.
“The goal posts change and the EU realizes that they can count less and less on the United States to protect its borders. In Lockstep, we will have to see European countries spend more on defense, “said Aneeka Gupta, macro-research manager at Wisdomtree UK Ltd.” This justifies a little more caution on obligations. “”
Developments have cemented the opinion that debt sales will have to increase as European nations support the cost of a lasting peace agreement between Ukraine and Russia. The upgrading of defense and the protection of Ukraine can cost the main powers of Europe 3.1 billions of additional dollars over 10 years, according to Bloomberg Economics Estimates.
French Minister of European Affairs, Benjamin Haddad, told Bloomberg TV before the Paris meeting that EU joint obligations could be issued to finance the defense, an option that has so far divided the block.
Meanwhile, European actions also get a boost from China, a key export market. A meeting between President Xi Jinping and turnover, including the co-founder of Alibaba Group Holding Ltd., Jack Ma has raised the hope that a repression of several years in the private sector ends.
In the currency markets, the Japanese yen has strengthened against all its peers in group of 10 after the economy increased faster than expected, strengthening the expectations of the interest rate of the Bank of Japan.
The Bloomberg dollar index stabilized after two days of losses, while gold prices increased, adding to a series of seven -week gains.
