TODAY’S FACTORS AND EVENTS

Germany’s 10-year Bund yield hovered around -0.16% at the end of June, remaining close to a one-month high of -0.146% hit last week, as ECB officials continued to signal there is no hurry to taper the central bank’s massive emergency stimulus. ECB President Christine Lagarde reiterated that it was not yet time to allow interest rates to rise and that a tightening of wider financing conditions would be premature and would pose a risk to the ongoing economic recovery and the outlook for inflation. Elsewhere, US Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell said that the recent spike in prices had been bigger than expected but would likely to be temporary, and that the central bank would not raise interest rates until there are signs of a solid economic recovery.
