The Big Picture
Interest Rates continue higher, accelerating since Donald Trump won the presidential election. The yield of 10-year US government bonds has risen from 1.85% to 2.21%. Since hitting lows of 1.35% this year, this constitutes a rise of ca. 1%. German 10 years government bonds have from -0.18% to 0.3%. Italian 10 years have risen even more, rising 1% from 1.04% to 2.02%. The reasoning behind this increase are proposed tax cuts and the US economic stimulus plans. Trump has not produced concrete plans on how these are to be financed. Internationally improved economic indicators and rising inflation are also putting upward pressure on yields. In Italy´s case, fear of December´s upcoming referendum also increasing rates.
