EUR/AUD Bond Yield, Interest Rate Differential, and Carry Trade Analysis (May 25–30, 2025)
Current 10-Year Bond Yields
Australia 10-Year Bond Yield: 4.48% (as of May 19–21, 2025) , rising slightly due to RBA rate cuts and global uncertainty.
Eurozone 10-Year Bond Yield: 3.17% (as of May 23, 2025) , reflecting moderate inflation and cautious ECB policy.
Interest Rate Differential (IRD)
The yield spread between Australian and Eurozone 10-year bonds is:4.48(AUD−3.17(EUR)=+1.31%
4.48% (AUD)−3.17% (EUR)=+1.31%
This differential favors the Australian dollar, creating a carry trade opportunity.
Carry Trade Advantage
Investors can borrow EUR at lower Eurozone rates and invest in higher-yielding AUD assets, earning the 1.31% yield spread as profit.
The strategy is supported by Australia’s elevated bond yields despite recent RBA rate cuts, driven by global demand for commodity-linked currencies and resilient growth.

Interest Rate Differential +1.31% (AUD over EUR) —
Carry Trade Appeal Favorable for long AUD/EUR —
Conclusion
The 1.31% yield advantage for AUD over EUR supports a long AUD/EUR carry trade strategy. However, traders should monitor:
RBA policy: Further rate cuts could narrow the yield spread.
Eurozone growth data: Weak GDP figures may pressure EUR yields lower, widening the differential.
Commodity prices: AUD remains sensitive to iron ore and coal price fluctuations.
While the carry trade offers potential gains, volatility from macroeconomic data and shifts in risk sentiment could impact returns.
