Although European long-term treasury bond yield curve betting transactions have deviated from the expected trajectory time and time again since this year, there are still traders who stick to one of Europe's most popular interest rate bets. Traders are betting that the 30-year swap rate will rise more than the 10-year swap rate, even though the US attack on Iran derailed the deal. This also means that the so-called strategy of steeper 10-year/30-year European Treasury yield and swap interest rate curves is still one of the most popular trading topics among institutional investors, because hedge funds and asset managers are betting that long-term interest rates need to rise to stimulate market demand for government debt.
