Italian BTP yields remain low despite rising infections
Monday 28th September '20
Italian BTP yields have dropped considerably since the peak of the pandemic in March as the economic outlook for the country has improved since then. 10-year BTP yields had exceeded 2.3% in March this year but have, since then, dropped to around 0.88% as economic indicators have painted the picture of a steady economic recovery. The rising number of virus cases in Italy since the end of August has, so far, not caused Italian BTP yields to start rising again.
