Inflation expectations still benefitting bunds

Investor pessimism on Bunds has receded in the past couple of weeks, while survey respondents are also becoming less negative on Bunds from a medium-term strategic perspective, with survey readings much less downbeat than they were at the start of this year (see Chart 9, page 4).
