Today the Italian State will issue 10-year government bonds. The Italian government would like to sell EUR 8.5 billion. Yesterday, Italy successfully issued short-term government bonds, including bonds with a maturity of six months. The interest paid on those bonds was 3.25% on an annual basis, about 3% less than the last issuance in November. Nonetheless, analysts expect that demand for the issue of 10-year government bonds will be low.
The Japanese economy appears to be stagnating. The government announced that the industrial production in November decreased by 2.6% from October. Analysts had expected a decrease of 0.8%. In addition, Japan faces deflation again. In October, prices decreased by 0.1% compared to September.
The balance sheet of the European Central Bank (ECB) soared to a record of approximately EUR 2730 billion. This is mainly due to the large increase in loans to European banks
