(ANSA) - Rome, February 27 - The risk level of Italian
bonds, as measured by credit-default swaps (CDS) insuring them,
climbed above that of Spain's on Wednesday, amid political
uncertainty after the nation's general election failed to
produce a clear winner.The Italian CDS level rose to 291 basis points, compared to 290 for Spain's.
The spread between 10-year Italian and Spanish bonds, another measure of investor confidence, remained in Italy's favour, although it dropped to 45 basis points, the lowest level since May 2012.
