Is the ECB’s hawkish shift just beginning to bite? UBS weighs in

Wed, 02 Sep 2026 06:54:06 -0400

Investing.com -- UBS told clients in a note Wednesday that the recent climb in long-term bond yields reflects a reassessment of where central bank policy rates are heading rather than investors demanding more compensation to hold sovereign debt, with the euro area offering the clearest example.

"The ongoing rise in long-term bond yields is sometimes interpreted as evidence that investors are asking for greater compensation to hold sovereign debt over a longer horizon. We are not convinced this is the full story," strategist Mustafa Oguz Caylan wrote.

The bank said the euro area has seen little evidence of a meaningful increase

NEW YORK, Aug 28 (Reuters) - The U.S. ‌dollar saw strong gains on Friday, putting it on track for its biggest daily climb in 2-1/2 months after U.S. Federal Reserve Chair Kevin Warsh hinted that interest rate hikes may be needed should policymakers doubt that inflation is headed back toward the central bank's 2% target.

ECB saw a further hike as likely at July meeting

Thu, 27 Aug 2026 07:47:15 -0400

FRANKFURT, Aug 27 (Reuters) - European Central ‌Bank policymakers meeting last month thought they would probably need to raise interest rates once more to contain the fallout from the Iran war, the ECB's ‌account of the meeting showed on Thursday.

The ECB kept interest rates ⁠on hold at the July 22-23 meeting, having raised them for the first time in ‌nearly three years in June ‌to show its determination to stop a war-led

Deutsche Bank calls Treasury buyback doubling similar to ’operation twist’

Wed, 19 Aug 2026 10:29:02 -0400

Investing.com -- The U.S. Treasury's surprise move to at least double the maximum size of its long-end buyback operations to $4 billion per operation amounts to "soft-form financial repression" and is "very similar to the Fed’s operation twist", Deutsche Bank warned Wednesday, adding that the dollar faces further downside as a result.

George Saravelos, Deutsche Bank's head of FX research, published an immediate-reaction note after the Treasury announced it was raising the per-operation cap on liquidity support buybacks covering the 10-year to 20-year and 20-year to 30-year nominal coupon sectors from $2 billion to at least $4 billion.
