Germany sells EUR 4.597bln vs exp. EUR 6bln 2.50% 2031 Bobl: average yield 2.47%, b/c 1.41x, retention 23.38%.

The German auction of EUR 4.597 billion in 2.50% 2031 Bobls fell short of the EUR 6 billion expectation, indicating weaker demand. The average yield of 2.47% was slightly below the market's expectations, suggesting a softer appetite from investors, which may influence future issuance strategies and overall yield dynamics in the market. Such results could potentially lead to upward pressure on rates if demand continues to wane.
