The sell-off continues on government bonds of the Eurozone and yields skyrocket. After the wave of sales, the yield of the 1-year Bund hits XNUMX%, returning to levels not reached since September 2014. On April 20, the yield was 0,07%.
Rates on Italian securities are also growing: the yield on ten-year BTPs reached 2,24%, the highest since last November. Less involved in the sell-off, however, are the more peripheral countries of the Eurozone.
Despite the growth in yields on Italian bonds, the Btp-Bund spread is down by around 128 basis points, due to the worse performance of German bonds.
