European markets and the ECB

The DAX, CAC 40 and FTSE 100, French and German bond yields, UK inflation and the ECB's decisions.

European markets trade the same AI and oil shocks as Wall Street and add their own: a French 10-year yield above 5% for the first time since 2002, British inflation that refuses to fall, and a central bank deciding how much of the US rate cycle to import.

Our coverage follows the index closes, the OAT-Bund spread, the gilt market, company-specific days such as Carrefour's profit warning, and the ECB and Bank of England meetings.
