Yields on Italian BTPs Break Support, Bonos Follow -- City Index UK
(firmenpresse) - LONDON -- (Marketwire) -- 12/20/12 -- - Italian 10-year government bond yields post their fourth consecutive monthly decline, the longest decline in three years.

More importantly, 10-year BTP yields have broken below their 200-week moving average for the first time since December 2010. The first attempt occurred two weeks ago, followed by a rebound, but this week's renewed decline is rather considerable.
The Death Cross on the weekly chart is illustrated by the cross-over between the 55 and 100 WMAs. The chart shows two previous occasions of Death and Golden Crosses when yields moved accordingly. Not shown on the chart is the Golden Cross of 2006 (leading to higher yields), and the Death Cross of 2004 (leading to falling yields).
On the monthly chart, 10-yr BTP yields drop below their 100-month moving average, shortly after breaking below the 55- and 200-month moving average.
