Spread closes seven points down on 193

(ANSA) - Rome, February 27 - 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 seven points down on 193 points Monday, compared to 200 at Friday's close, with a yield edging down to 2.12%.
    The lower the spread is, the better it is for the Italian economy and debt-servicing costs.
    The spread rose above 200 points recently on fears of European populist threats to the euro.
