Italy 10-Year BTP Yield Holds at 1.5-Week High

2025-10-24 14:46 By Dongting Liu 1 min. read

Yields on Italy’s 10-year BTPs hovered around 3.4%, maintaining a near two-week high as markets digested stronger-than-expected eurozone economic data.

The region’s PMI climbed to its highest since May 2024, driven by expanding services activity and manufacturing returning to the neutral 50 mark.

This prompted investors to slightly scale back expectations for ECB easing next year.

In the US, softer-than-expected inflation readings further bolstered bets on a Federal Reserve rate cut next week.

On the domestic front, Italy’s cabinet approved the 2026 budget earlier this month, outlining €18.7 billion in tax cuts and support measures.

The plan, now heading for parliamentary debate and year-end approval, targets a public deficit of 2.8% of GDP, in line with the EU’s 3% fiscal ceiling.

Italy’s 10-Year BTP Yield Falls to Three-Month Low
Italy’s 10-year BTP yield declined further below 3.4%, touching its lowest level since November 12, as investors rotated into safer assets amid deteriorating risk sentiment. Softer-than-expected US inflation data further supported bond markets, strengthening the view that the Federal Reserve may have room to resume interest rate cuts. In the euro area, market participants evaluated signals that the European Central Bank remains broadly comfortable with the euro’s recent appreciation. Investors also weighed reports that Bank of France Governor François Villeroy de Galhau, seen as a dovish voice within the ECB, could step down earlier than anticipated. ECB President Christine Lagarde reiterated last week that the inflation outlook is in a “good place,” while downplaying concerns about the strength of the single currency. Money markets are currently pricing in just a 30% probability of an ECB rate cut by December.
