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 three
points down on 167 points Thursday, with the yield down 0.02% to
2.03%.
The lower the spread is, the better it is for the Italian
economy and debt-servicing costs.
The spread rose above 200 points recently on EU populist
fears.
