The spread between Italian and
German 10-year bond yields, a gauge of Italy's borrowing costs
and of market confidence in the Italian economy, closed steady
on 135 points Monday, a post-October 2016 low, with the yield
down to 1.64%.
The lower the spread is, the better it is for the Italian
economy and debt-servicing costs.
The spread rose above 200 points earlier this year on EU
populist fears.
