Italy’s BTP Yields Rise to Over Two-Month High

2025-12-08 12:40 By Joana Ferreira 1 min. read

Italy’s 10-year BTP yield climbed above 3.55%, its highest level since late September, following broader global bond gains as investors weighed the ECB’s policy outlook alongside European fiscal concerns.

ECB official Isabel Schnabel said she is comfortable with market bets that the central bank’s next move could be a rate increase, noting that risks to both growth and inflation are tilted to the upside.

Her comments, coupled with resilient economic activity and inflation near target, reinforced expectations that the ECB is likely to keep rates unchanged through 2026.

On the fiscal front, Italy showed signs of stability, projecting its 2025 budget deficit to fall below 3% of GDP, down from 3.4% in 2024 and ahead of an earlier 3.3% target.

However, Germany’s 2026 budget includes nearly €180 billion in borrowed funds, while France approved the taxation part of the country's 2026 social security budget, following concessions from Prime Minister Lecornu to keep the legislation on track.
