⑴ Germany issued 12-month Bubills on Monday, with a new bond auction size reaching 2.77 billion euros, and a reissue of 1.89 billion euros, absorbing a total of 4.66 billion euros in funds. ⑵ The average winning yield of the reissued portion dropped to 2.331%, lower than the previous 2.366%, but the bid-to-cover ratio plummeted from 1.6 to 1.2, indicating a sharp decline in willingness to chase the rally. ⑶ The average winning yield of the new bond auction rose to 2.478%, significantly higher than the previous 2.366%, with the bid-to-cover ratio staying flat at 1.6 and showing no improvement. ⑷ Divergent yields and low bid-to-cover ratios indicate weakening primary market absorption capacity, a shift towards defensive trading sentiment, and more selective allocations to short-term European bonds. ⑸ Combined with global trade concerns sparked by Trump’s tariff remarks, funds have tended to move from risk assets to highly liquid government bonds. The result of the German bond auction reflects supply and demand imbalances as risk-aversion sentiment intensifies.

The latest forecast from the IMF shows that global public debt will exceed 100% of GDP by 2029, two years earlier than previously expected. The IMF Managing Director issued a rare warning, specifically naming the United States’ debt path as “unsustainable” and pointing out that fiscal consolidation in various countries is seriously lagging. What's even more dangerous is that persistent inflation may force the Federal Reserve to continue raising interest rates, increasing financing costs and creating a vicious cycle of "high debt—high interest rates—even higher debt."
