French bond risk premium over Italy hits euro-era record

Original: Bond investors are demanding the most compensation to own French bonds over Italian ones since the founding of the euro

Bond investors are demanding the highest compensation since the euro was created to hold French government debt rather than Italian debt, a historic reversal in the eurozone's bond market. France, long considered a core safe borrower, is now priced as riskier than Italy, reflecting concern over French political instability, budget deficits and debt sustainability, and fuelling debate about the country's fiscal credibility.

Why now: French political turmoil and fiscal worries have pushed the France-Italy bond spread to unprecedented levels, alarming markets.
