As U.S. Treasurys sell off amid more tariff-induced market turmoil on Wednesday , investors looked to short-dated European bonds.

Economists at TS Lombard meanwhile likened the spike in borrowing costs to the U.K. 's 2022 "mini budget" crisis.

Germany bucked trend as its 10-year bund, seen as a benchmark for the euro zone, traded marginally lower through the morning before moving flat.

BlackRock 's Alex Brazier says recent months have been a reminder for investors that "we're in a new world" Some European government bond yields have moved upward despite rising expectations of interest rate cuts in the region.

But U.S. Treasury yields are falling back again, and the situation remains very fluid, he says.
