[ad_1]

(ANSA) – ROME, OCT 13 – The Btp-Bund spread widened Friday
and ended the session sharply higher at 203.2 basis points from
197 on Thursday.

   
The yield on the Italian ten-year bond rose to 4.76 per cent
from 4.75 per cent on the eve of the session.

   
The spread is a gauge of Italy’s borrowing costs on its high
debt, the second biggest in the euro zone after Greece’s.
