Eurozone: Could the yield curve steepen without any change to monetary policy expectations?

What developments could lead the euro zone’s yield curve to steepen (which would be positive for banks and life insurers) without any change to expectations regarding the ECB’s monetary policy? A steepening could result from: A fall in risk aversion (an end to expectations of a recession or a trade war), leading investors to rotate from bonds into equities (which has started to be the case in October 2019); A shift to a more expansionary fiscal policy in the euro zone, in particular in Germany.
