Key Quotes
“We think that it will actually be much higher, given:
- The increase in US interest rates and their transmission to the euro zone;
- The gradual exit from quantitative easing in the euro zone;
- The increase in inflation due to the rise in oil prices.”
“We began with a German 10-year interest rate of 0.4% in May 2017. To this we have added:
- 55 basis points due to the transmission of the rise in US long-term interest rates over the next two years; - 25 basis points due to the exit from quantitative easing in the euro zone; - 60 basis points due to the rise in oil prices and in expected inflation.”
“The result is an interest rate on 10-year Bunds of 1.8% in two years.”
