Bund yields hit lowest in over three months after Israel strikes Iran
LONDON, June 13 (Reuters) - German government bond yields fell to their lowest level in over three months on Friday, benefiting from a surge in investor appetite for safe haven assets after Israel launched widescale strikes against Iran.

Longer-dated 30-year German debt DE30YT=RR performed the strongest, falling 4.5 bps to 2.91%, flattening the curve.
Bund yields were also set for their largest weekly decrease since late March, with a decline of 13 bps.
Euro zone bond prices rose, pushing yields lower, in line with gains in gold and the U.S. dollar.
French 10-year yields FR10YT=RR fell 2.4 bps to 3.162%, while Italian 10-year yields IT10YT=RR underperformed, dropping 1.5 bps to 3.40%, but hitting their lowest since December at 3.398%.
