Eurozone inflation surged to 3.8% in September, a three-year high driven by energy costs, forcing markets to price in persistent stickiness. This has triggered a broad bond selloff across the region, with investors fleeing to the safety of German Bunds while US and French yields rise. Citi notes that the market's aggressive repricing of rates is occurring without a corresponding shift in Fed policy, creating a fragile macro backdrop.
