The DAX benefits from strength in defense and real estate sectors, which are significant components of the index and rally on Europe's military spending surge.

Increased government spending may lead to more debt issuance, pushing German bund yields higher. The fiscal expansion for defense raises the supply of bonds and potential inflation, lifting yields.
Higher spending financed by debt increases bond supply; if demand doesn't keep pace, yields rise. Additionally, defense-driven economic stimulus could stoke inflation, prompting rates higher.
The magnitude depends on the spending scale and how it's financed; if large and debt-funded, 10-year yields could see notable upward pressure.
