# France: 10-year OAT yield rises to 3.90 per cent, the highest since 2009 - Il Sole 24 ORE

> The 10-year French OAT yield rose to 3.90 percent, its highest since June 2009, after renewed US-Iran tensions following overnight attacks and Trump's statements ending a ceasefire. The spread over the German Bund widened to 84 basis points, the highest since last October. OATs now yield more than BTP bonds of the same maturity.
