Spain’s benchmark government borrowing costs dropped below 2.5 per cent this week – a two century record, and French 10-year yields dropped to 1.52 per cent on Tuesday morning, the lowest point reached over a period of more than 250 years.
Italian benchmark government bond yields, which fell to 2.64 per cent on Tuesday morning, have only been lower for a few weeks in 1945.
