Credit: REUTERS/KAI PFAFFENBACHLONDON, Sept 10 (Reuters) - Germany's 30-year government bond yield rose into positive territory for the first time in more than a month on Tuesday as global bond markets sold off on fading global uncertainty and some caution about the extent to which European policymakers would add stimulus at a meeting this week.
Monday's report that Germany is considering the creation of a "shadow budget" that would allow Berlin to boost public investment above and beyond limits set by its strict national debt rules also put upward pressure on German yields.
The 30-year bond yield rose 4 basis points to 0.01% DE30YT=RR -- its highest level since early August. Since then, growing U.S.-China trade tensions sent the longest-dated German bond yields into negative territory.
Tuesday's rise also means that the entire curve in Germany, the euro zone's benchmark bond issuer, is no longer in negative territory.
