1236 GMT - Eurozone government bond yields stay higher on the day but trim their rises after the European Central Bank left interest rates on hold, as expected, having raised rates at its previous meeting. The 10-year Bund yield falls to 3.188%, from 3.194% before the decision, although it remains 0.9 basis points higher on the day. The yield hit a 15-year high of 3.205% earlier in the day. The two-year Schatz yield is up 1.5 basis points at 2.854%, versus 2.864% beforehand. The ECB didn't provide any direct hints that rates would rise further. However, it said uncertainty surrounding the Middle East conflict remains high and the full inflationary impact of the energy shock has yet to play out. (emese.bartha@wsj.com)
