Europe Capital Partners flags wide carry cushion gap across European 10-year bonds

• Europe Capital Partners analysis flagged wide differences in carry “cushions” for 10-year European government bonds under a 1% yield shock.
• A 1% yield drop implied roughly 10%–13% 12-month returns across markets, while a 1% rise cut returns by 1%–4% in most.
• Higher-yield markets showed smaller losses on a 1% rise: UK Gilts -1.2%, French OATs -1.9%.
• Lower-yield markets showed larger drawdowns: German Bunds -3.8%, Swiss bonds -7.8% with yields near 0.5%.
• Report warned carry offsets broad rate rises, not country-specific credit shocks; it called for selective duration exposure across Europe.
