# Euro zone bond yields soar as ECB presses on with stimulus exit | Reuters

> Euro zone bond yields surged after the ECB said it would end its bond buying in the third quarter, as inflation outweighs growth risks from Russia's invasion of Ukraine. Italian yields rose over 20 basis points and German 10-year yields hit three-week highs. The euro fell 0.5% to $1.1017 as the dollar gained on U.S. inflation data supporting an expected Fed rate hike.

## Why it matters

Tighter ECB and Fed policy strengthens the dollar and weighs on euro-denominated import costs for feed buyers, while higher rates raise financing costs across the feed chain. The stronger dollar tends to pressure U.S. commodity prices in dollar terms.
