EGBS: Italy has come under some strong selling pressure this morning with
sources reporting a couple of newspaper articles that highlight growing
political concerns. Italy 2-yr yield is 7.8bp higher at 0.623% while 10-yr
Bund/BTP spread is 7.1bp wider at 224.6bps.
- La Repubblica reports that League's Salvini and 5SM Maio are united against
Finance Minister Tria's CDP leader nomination  and have threatened to seek
Tria's resignation.
- While Corriere Della Sera has an article quoting Claudio Borghi that he is
convinced Italy will leave the Euro sooner or later.
- German 10-yr Bund yield is 1bp lower at 0.32% supported by the risk-off flows,
while Spai is also feeling the downside effect of the BTP move with 10-yr
Bund/Bonos spread 2bp wider.
- Once again little data from the Eurozone today so attention likely to remain
on Italian politics and UK public borrowing numbers.
