Government bond yields began to rise in November across most major sovereign markets. A notable exception was Greece’s 10-year bond mid-yield, which dropped nearly 30 basis points to close the month at a record low of 0.63%.

Some common themes have started to emerge as we’ve been talking with the amazing women of Tradeweb as part of our Global Women’s Network blog series. Chief among them has been the power of mentorship to shape careers, empower growth and break down barriers.
