The Treasury sold all of the 8.25
billion euros' worth of State bonds it put up for auction on
Wednesday, although yields on medium-term ones went up.
The yield on the three-year BTP bond returned to positive
territory at 0.05% after dropping to a record low of -0.05% in
March's auction.
The yield on the seven-year bond rose to 0.82% from 0.79%
last time.
The yield on the 15-year bond was 1.71%, compared to 1.84%
in March.
The rate for the 30-year bond was 1.43% compared to 2.71%
at an auction in November.
The spread between Italy's 10-year BTP State bond and the
German equivalent dropped to 118 points with a yield of 1.34%
after the auctions.
The spread, a key measure of investor confidence and of
Italy's borrowing costs, had started the day at 121.3 points.
