The yield on Germany’s 30-year government bond rose to 3.640% at the latest auction, up from a previous level of 2.960%. The move, recorded on 15 July 2026, reflects a significant increase in long-term borrowing costs for Europe’s largest economy.
While no further details on demand or issuance volume were provided, the jump in the 30-year Bund yield suggests investors are now requiring a higher return to hold ultra-long-dated German debt compared with the prior auction level. This shift may be closely watched by market participants looking for signals on interest rate expectations, inflation outlook, and long-term funding conditions within the euro area’s benchmark bond market.
