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, rose to 2010
points Wednesday, its highest since February 2014.
It fell back a point to close at 209, still three points
above Tuesday's close of 206.
The yield was 2.28%.
It was the fourth time this month the spread went over
the psychologically important 200-point threshold.
The spread rose consistently above 200 last month on EU
populist fears.
