European bond selloff sparks contagion fears, echoes 2011 debt crisis

A wave of selling in European government bonds has traders scanning for contagion effects, reminiscent of the 2011-2012 debt crisis. The report from Bloomberg, relayed by Dagens Industri, indicates market stress is spreading beyond initial epicenters, though specific countries and triggers remain unspecified. This matters because renewed fragmentation in euro-area bond markets could pressure the ECB to intervene and signal broader risk-off sentiment.
