The spread between Italy's 10-year
BTP bond and the German Bund dropped back below the
180-basis-points mark in early trading on Tuesday, falling to
177 points.
The spread, an important measure of investor confidence,
closed at 185 points on Monday after nearing the 190-points mark
following a report from Fitch saying Italy's country risk could
increase on the basis of the government contract between the
League and the 5-Star Movement.
The Milan stock exchange's FTSE Mib index, meanwhile, gained
0.66% in early business after losing 1.52% on Monday.
