Italy’s 10-year BTP yield surged above 4.1%, nearing its highest level since November 2023 and poised to close March nearly 80 basis points higher. The escalating Iran conflict has sent energy prices soaring, prompting investors to shift from expecting ECB rate cuts this year to pricing in at least two hikes, and possibly a third. Tensions rose further after US President Donald Trump extended his deadline for Iran to reopen the Strait of Hormuz or face strikes, while Washington and Tehran offered conflicting accounts of diplomatic progress. Despite German Foreign Minister Johann Wadephul confirming indirect contacts and upcoming direct talks in Pakistan, markets remain unconvinced of a swift resolution, interpreting the delay as a strategy to reinforce military readiness. Adding to the pressure, Spain’s post-war HICP inflation reading jumped to 3.3% from 2.5% in February, driven by surging fuel and lubricant costs, though still below the 3.9% forecast.

Italy’s BTP Yields Climb as Middle East Tensions Fuel Inflation Worries
Italy’s 10-year BTP yield surpassed 3.9%, approaching two-year highs, as the unresolved Middle East conflict pushed oil prices upward and intensified inflation fears. Washington insisted Tehran seeks a deal while deploying more troops to the region, but Iran’s foreign minister dismissed talks, instead demanding control over the Strait of Hormuz. Markets now expect two to three ECB rate hikes by year-end, after ECB President Christine Lagarde warned of potential action "at any meeting" to counter inflation risks from energy shocks.

Italy’s BTP Yields Drop on Middle East Hopes
Italy’s 10-year BTP yield fell to 3.86%, retreating from two-year highs, as hopes of Middle East de-escalation lifted market sentiment. A reported US peace proposal to Tehran, though rejected by Iran, sent Brent crude below $100 a barrel, easing fears of inflation fueled by high energy costs. Rate hike expectations softened, with markets now anticipating only two ECB increases this year, down from three previously. Meanwhile, ECB President Christine Lagarde reiterated the bank’s commitment to act "at any meeting" should energy price surges risk broader inflation. On the economic front, Eurozone business activity data revealed a sharp decline in March, hitting a 10-month low, while input costs surged at the fastest pace in over three years amid rising energy prices and supply chain strains.
