(ANSA) - Rome, January 17 - 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 steady
on 158 points Tuesday with a yield of 1.90%.
The lower the spread is, the better it is for the Italian
economy and debt-servicing costs.
