The 10-year German bond yield surged and then retreated, as European Central Bank President Christine Lagarde made hawkish remarks on the decision day

On Thursday (September 11), in the European market's late trading session, the yield on Germany's 10-year government bonds rose by 0.5 basis points to 2.657%. At 20:15 Beijing time, after the European Central Bank announced its interest rate decision, it plummeted from around 2.665%. Following the release of the U.S. CPI data and the start of President Lagarde's press conference, it fell to 2.635%, refreshing the day's low, and then rebounded, rising to 2.694% before the stock market opened in the U.S., refreshing the day's low, and stabilizing around 2.660% for most of the day— the volatility brought by the central bank's interest rate decision was "short-lived."

The yield on the 2-year German bonds rose by 3.4 basis points to 1.986%, trading within the range of 1.943%-1.999% during the day; the yield on the 30-year German bonds fell by 1.7 basis points to 3.255%.

The yield spread between the 2-year and 10-year German bonds fell by 2.982 basis points to +66.708 basis points
