The RF MGS Index rose by 0.22% to 904.4 points, partly reversing some of yesterday’s sharp decline in CBM bid prices following the surge in global sovereign bond yields, particularly US and Japanese yields. The uplift in US yields was largely influenced by further trade tensions with the European Union as a response to political negotiations regarding the territory of Greenland.  In Japan, Prime Minister Sanae Takaichi announced a snap election which pushed long-term yields to multi-decade records.
