Investing.com -- European government bonds, particularly those with longer-dated maturities, are experiencing a decline.
This comes amid speculation surrounding a meeting in Paris between the leaders of the bloc.
It is believed that the meeting could indicate an increase in spending on security across the continent, which could potentially lead to a rise in debt sales.
German 30-year yields have seen an increase of 8 basis points to 2.76%. Bond yields in France and the UK have also followed a similar pattern.
In contrast, the Stoxx 600 has seen a rise, increasing by 0.3%. This rise is led by bank stocks, which are benefiting from steeper yield curves.
Industrial stocks are also showing strong performance due to the potential increase in defense spending.
