March 27 (Reuters) - Euro zone yields fell slightly on
Wednesday in low volumes ahead of the Easter holidays, with
investors waiting for key inflation data from both sides of the
Atlantic.
** Spain will issue inflation figures later in the session,
France, Italy and the U.S. on Friday, while German and euro
area-wide data is due next week.
** Markets slightly scaled back their bets on 2024 ECB rate
cuts to 90 basis points (bps) earlier this
week as Atlanta Federal Reserve Bank President Raphael Bostic
said on Friday he expects just a 25-bps Fed cut in 2024.
** Germany's 10-year bond yield, the benchmark
for the bloc, was down 1.5 bps at 2.33%.
** Italy's 10-year bond yield was 1 basis point lower at
3.65%, with the closely watched gap to Germany's
10-year yield at 130 bps.
** Germany's two-year bond yield, which is more
sensitive to European Central Bank rate expectations, dropped
one basis point to 2.84%.
