UK and European government bonds recovered ground this week after a sharp sell-off that had driven long-term yields to multi-decade highs and rattled financial markets.

The rebound brought some relief to investors who had watched yields on benchmark securities surge amid renewed concerns about fiscal pressures, inflation persistence and shifting central-bank expectations.

In the UK, gilt prices strengthened following a dramatic rise in long-dated yields that had pushed the thirty-year benchmark above levels not seen in nearly three decades.

Traders reported renewed buying interest as volatility cooled and demand returned from institutional investors seeking stability after several days of disorderly market moves.

The pound also edged firmer as confidence improved.

Across Europe, French and German bonds experienced a similar recovery.

Yields that had spiked abruptly earlier in the week began to retreat, lifting broader market sentiment and helping equities across the region post modest gains.

Analysts pointed to softer economic data and growing expectations that major central banks may soon shift toward easing, reducing pressure on sovereign debt markets.

While the rebound marks an important pause in the recent turbulence, yields remain elevated relative to earlier in the year, and investors caution that risks have not fully receded.

Lingering uncertainty over fiscal policy, inflation trajectories and global interest-rate paths leaves markets vulnerable to renewed bouts of volatility.

For now, however, the correction offers a measure of stability at a pivotal moment for European fixed-income assets.
