Italy’s bonds under renewed pressure, German bond yields fall

LONDON (Reuters) – Italian bonds came under renewed selling pressure in early Friday trade, with yields on two-year government bonds rising to their highest in 1-1/2 weeks.

Two-year Italian bond yields rose around 20 basis points (bps) to 1.775 percent (), while a rise in 10-year yields () pushed the gap over benchmark German Bund yields to around 265 bps – the widest in around 1-1/2 weeks.

Germany’s 10-year bond yield fell 5 bps to 0.43 percent as risk aversion in world markets boosted demand for safe-haven debt.
