(ANSA) - Rome, May 21 - The spread between Italian and German 10-year-bond yields neared 190 basis points, at 189, before closing at 185 on Monday after 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. It is the spread's highest level since last June.
The yield was up to 2.37%.
