0704 GMT - Eurozone government bond yields fall in early trade, tracking U.S. Treasury yields, as investors tentatively believe in the potential for a lasting peace in the Middle East. The U.S. Central Command said that a blockade of Iranian ports has been fully implemented and that U.S. forces are maintaining maritime superiority in the Middle East. The prospect of fresh peace talks between the U.S. and Iran also give hope for cautious optimism. The 10-year German Bund yield falls 3.1 basis points to 3.000% and Italy's 10-year BTP yield is down 3.7 basis points at 3.751%, according to Tradeweb. Italy plans a dual-tranche bond syndication on Wednesday while Germany has a triple-tranche auction of ultra-long Bunds. (emese.bartha@wsj.com)
