0717 GMT - Eurozone government bond yields edge higher in opening trade as oil prices rise due to continued Middle East conflict while investors await a European Central Bank's policy decision later in the day. The ECB is expected to leave interest rates on hold, but markets will watch for any comments on the potential impact of recent oil-price rises and the prospects for further rate increases in the coming months. "Markets will be very attentive to clues for September, which features updated forecasts," analysts at KBC Bank say in a note. The 10-year Bund yield rises 0.9 basis points to 3.187%, according to LSEG data. The magnitude of the rise is broadly in line with that of U.S. Treasury yields. (emese.bartha@wsj.com)
