European sovereign debt strengthened across the board on Tuesday as crude and natural gas prices reversed their recent upward trends. Germany's benchmark 10-year yield slipped 2 basis points to 3.25%, while its two-year Schatz yield dropped nearly 3 basis points to 2.98%. Sentiment improved further after U.S. President Donald Trump downplayed prospective military action against Iran, curbing concerns over Middle Eastern energy supply disruptions. Consequently, underperforming markets such as France and Italy led the rally, with French 10-year yields retreating 6 basis points to 4.69%.
