NEW YORK / LONDON (dpa-AFX) – US government bonds rose on Monday. The futures contract for ten-year Treasuries (T-Note-Future) recently expanded its profit by 0.23 percent to 137.71 points. The yield on the ten-year bond fell to 0.93 percent.
The stock markets reacted on Monday with losses to the faltering negotiations between Great Britain and the European Union on a Brexit trade agreement. Some analysts such as JPMorgan put the likelihood of failure of the talks up.
A personal meeting at the highest level should now bring about the breakthrough. British Prime Minister Boris Johnson will travel to Brussels in the coming days to clarify the most difficult questions with EU Commission President Ursula von der Leyen, the EU Commission announced on Monday evening after Johnson’s phone call with von der Leyen.
The tense corona situation also caused uncertainty. New infections are starting to rise again in parts of the USA as well as in some countries in Europe and Asia. The new corona restrictions set in many places are not yet having the desired effect. Should the restrictions have to be tightened further, this would also have a negative impact on economic development. Against this background, investors were drawn to the supposedly safe investment haven of bonds./bfg/ajx/men at the beginning of the week
