However, it's important to remember that the bond market can be a crucial portfolio element for balance and risk reduction.On the European front, we're also witnessing an uptick in yields for government bonds, including German and British bonds. This comes in the context of an improving business climate in Germany, which may indicate strengthening regional economies.A statement by an ECB Governing Council member is noteworthy, indicating that a rate cut by the ECB in June doesn't necessarily signify the start of a series of cuts.
