Two main factors seemed to have driven cross-asset price correlations: first, the return of the "reflation trade" that had pushed long-term interest rates, equities and the US dollar broadly higher; and, second, the euro area had been shielded to some extent from the upward pressure on yields, mainly owing to expectations of continued ECB monetary policy accommodation.
