The borrowing costs in Italy’s Tuesday auctions rose to their highest level since October 2023, as surging energy prices heightened market expectations of further global interest rate increases.
The Italian Ministry of Finance issued €8 billion in three bonds as planned, reaching the maximum cap.
Among them, a new 5-year BTP bond was issued for €3.5 billion, maturing in February 2032 with a yield of 4.08%, the highest since October 2023. In contrast, the last auction in late August for a bond maturing in June 2031 had a yield of 3.44%.
The 10-year BTP bond was issued at €3 billion with a gross yield of 4.58%, also marking the highest since October 2023, compared to 4.10% last month.
Italy also issued €1.5 billion in 10-year floating-rate CCTeu bonds.
Overall, rising energy prices are increasing the financing costs of Southern European countries through the channels of inflation and interest rate expectations. Market sentiment is becoming more sensitive to long-term rates, with future focus on whether energy price trends and European Central Bank policy can alleviate this pressure.
