Italy’s 10-Year BTP Yield Slides to Three-Month Low

2026-02-13 08:07 By Joana Ferreira 1 min. read

Italy’s 10-year BTP yield fell to 3.38%, touching its lowest level since November 12, as investors awaited US consumer price index data later in the day for further insight into the Federal Reserve’s policy trajectory.

The move followed stronger-than-expected US employment figures released on Wednesday, which cooled expectations of an imminent rate cut by the Fed.

In Europe, investors assessed indications that the European Central Bank remains broadly comfortable with the euro’s recent appreciation.

Markets also considered reports that Bank of France Governor François Villeroy de Galhau, viewed as a dovish policymaker, could step down earlier than anticipated.

ECB President Christine Lagarde said last week that the inflation outlook remains in a “good place,” while playing down concerns about the strength of the single currency.

Money markets currently price in only a 30% probability of an ECB rate reduction by December.
