ECB prospects for quantitative tightening

Trimming the ECB’s 5 trillion-euro ($5 trillion) bond holdings risks blowing out spreads in the region’s periphery

The extra yield investors demand to hold Italy’s 10-year notes over similar German bonds was around 235 basis points on Wednesday

The spread is likely to widen as Italy faces an election this month, with prospects of a government led by Giorgia Meloni
