Citable research brief

Core conclusion · Tlines extraction

The US Treasury curve bear-flattened as 2s10s narrowed to 19bp from 40bp; the 2-year yield rose 38bp to 4.8% while the 30-year was unchanged at 5.29%, with both real rates and inflation expectations contributing. Intesa Sanpaolo expects gradual declines over twelve months: 2-year to 4.3% and 10-year to 4.5% by September 2027. Euro area yields rose mainly on inflation expectations; Bund 2s10s compressed to 22bp from 38bp, with 2-year and 10-year seen at 3.0% and 3.10% by 3Q27. It also expects OAT-Bund and BTP-Bund spreads to widen into Q1 2027 as fiscal sustainability concerns persist.

Key arguments

  • US Treasury bear-flattening reflects higher-for-longer repricing; 2s10s narrowed to 19bp from 40bp, with 2-year up 38bp to 4.8% and 30-year near 5.29%.
  • US 10-year real yields rose 74bp YTD to 2.1% while 10-year inflation swaps gained only 5bp to 2.5%, showing real rates led the move.
  • Euro area yields rose primarily on inflation expectations: 10-year inflation swap up 34bp YTD versus a 20bp real-yield rise to 1.2%.
  • European sovereign spread widening reflects political and fiscal risk; OAT-Bund seen peaking at 120bp in Q1 2027.

Main risks

  • Near-term inflation dynamics, energy prices and fiscal factors may delay the anticipated yield rally.
  • Inflation risks in the euro area are skewed to the upside, with breakevens and inflation swaps potentially outperforming nominal rates.
  • European sovereign spread widening may exceed projections if fiscal consolidation becomes more difficult amid political fragmentation.

Corresponding source evidence

  1. Yields rose across the curve : the 2-year yield increased by 38bps to 4.8%, while the 10 -year gained 17bps and the 30 -year was broadly unchanged at 5.29%.
  2. Looking ahead, the cumulative effects of Fed tightening and declining inflation should increasingly weigh on economic activity, supporting a downward repricing of intermediate and long -end Treasury yields.
  3. As the market gains confidence that inflation is converging towar ds target, term premia and real yields are likely to compress, particularly in the 5Y and 10Y sectors.
