The spread between Italian and German
10-year bond yields, a gauge of market confidence in Italy, rose
seven points to 119 amid the ongoing government crisis on
Thursday.
Bank of America analysts said the spread could go as high as 140
if early elections were called.
That would be the highest since the start of November.
Premier Giuseppe Conte's government was plunged into crisis
after ex-premier and centrist Italia Viva (IV) leader Matteo
Renzi pulled the two ministers representing the junior coalition
partner.
