TREE NEWS reports: France’s 10-year government bond yield rose 4.1 basis points to 4.811% in late European trading on Tuesday, touching 4.821% near the close and pressing toward the 4.873% peak of the third quarter of 2008. Italy’s 10-year yield added 2.2 basis points to 4.614%, approaching its June 25 high of 4.849%, while Spain’s 10-year fell 0.1 basis point to 4.145% and Greece’s was roughly flat at 4.145%.
French 10-Year Bond Yield Rises 4bps to 4.811%, a Fresh Post-2008 High
The more telling signal is the spread: Italy's yield sits below France's, a reversal of the usual peripheral-versus-core hierarchy that points to country-specific risk being priced into French debt rather than a uniform euro-area move. Spain and Greece holding flat while France and Italy rise suggests this is not a broad duration selloff. Whether the French-Italian relationship continues to invert is the open question.
