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 four
points down on 164 points Thursday, with the yield down 0.02% to
2.10%.
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.
It rose above 170 Monday after the AfD got into Germany's
parliament, the first far-right party to make it in since the
war.
