German government bond yields and the euro rose on Friday, with German Chancellor-in-waiting Friedrich Merz saying he had secured crucial backing from the Greens for a massive increase in state borrowing. Germany's news helped boost U.S. Treasury yields, according to Garrett Melson, portfolio strategist at Natixis Investment Managers, who also attributed equity gains on Friday to the S&P 500 confirming it was in a correction on Thursday.
