Euro zone yields declined on Tuesday following the release of data indicating a drop in German investor morale for November. This downturn reflects worries that U.S. President-elect Donald Trump's policies could have a detrimental impact on the European economy.

The uncertainty triggered by Trump's electoral victory, coupled with the collapse of the German government, has overshadowed market expectations. However, investors were cautious, avoiding significant yield drops before the reopening of the U.S. market, which was closed on Monday.

Meanwhile, Germany's Social Democrats, Greens, and Conservatives have proposed February 23 as a potential date for new elections. Friedrich Merz, poised to become chancellor, outlined conditions for reforming the debt brake, emphasizing investment in growth and social welfare programs.
