April 30 (Reuters) - Euro zone government bond yields

were little changed on Wednesday as investors waited for German

and French inflation data later in the session.

Germany's 10-year yield, the euro area's

benchmark, fell 0.5 basis points to 2.49%.

U.S. Treasury yields edged up in early London trade after

falling for the sixth consecutive day to a three-week low on

Tuesday as data showed that U.S. job openings dropped sharply in

March, while consumer confidence hit an almost five-year low.

Money markets priced in a European Central Bank deposit

facility rate at 1.62% in December. They

also fully priced a 25 bps cut in June.

Germany's 2-year yield, more sensitive to

expectations for ECB policy rates, was flat at 1.74%.

Italy's 10-year yield was unchanged at 3.62%,

with the gap between Italian and German 10-year bond yields

at 109 bps.
