Euro zone government bonds marked their biggest three-day rally since October, driven by a reduction in oil prices and caution before the upcoming Federal Reserve interest rate decision. This decision might provide insights into global policymakers' views on the inflation outlook.

German 10-year Bund yields decreased by 2.3 basis points, reaching 2.888%, marking a nearly 10 basis point fall over the last three days. This decline is the most substantial since last October, reflecting increased bond prices.

Despite stabilizing oil prices at around $100 a barrel, the market remains vigilant as the Fed, led by Chair Jerome Powell, could offer pivotal insights into energy price impacts reminiscent of early 2022. Market players eagerly await the ECB meeting for further cues from President Christine Lagarde on possible interest rate hikes within the year.
