Global government bonds are experiencing their longest rising streak since December due to increased expectations of interest-rate cuts this year, with a Bloomberg gauge of sovereign bond returns rising for a fifth consecutive session. Traders are amplifying rate-cut bets following weak US economic data, the Bank of Canada's monetary policy easing, and projections of a European Central Bank rate cut. Market sentiment is shifting towards bonds, but the impact may be affected by US non-farm payrolls data and a gloomy US fiscal outlook, despite the likelihood of rate reductions by the Federal Reserve and Reserve Bank of Australia later this year.
