Today: Nervous bond markets | Germany's dangerous LNG dependence
Christian Kopf of Union Investment talks about the US Treasury Secretary's market interventions in the podcast. And: experts warn of a lack of diversification in gas imports.
US 10-year government bond yields have approached the 5% mark, causing significant yield increases in Germany, France, Japan, and Australia, similar to levels seen during the financial crisis.
