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 six
points down on 200 points Thursday, compared to 206 at
Wednesday's close, with a yield of 2.23%, 0.03% down from 2.26%
on Wednesday.
The lower the spread is, the better it is for the Italian
economy and debt-servicing costs.
The spread rose above 200 last month on EU populist fears.
