English to German Bus/Financial Government / Politics

Government bond yields dropped across Europe over the course of a particularly volatile October. The biggest move occurred in Italy, where the mid-yield on the 10-year benchmark note recorded its largest monthly decline in over two years, closing out 35 basis points lower at 1.82%. Key events that dominated headlines during the month included an unexpected upgrade to the country’s S&P sovereign credit rating, from BBB- to BBB; and the adoption of a new electoral system that is expected ***to stifle a rising tide of anti-establishment candidates***.

Vorläufige Lösung:

[...] Zwei wichtige Ereignisse waren die unerwartete Heraufstufung der Bonität des Landes durch S&P (von BBB- auf BBB) sowie die Einführung eines neuen Wahlsystems, ***das zu einer deutlichen Schwächung der im Aufschwung befindlichen Anti-Establishment-Bewegung führen dürfte***.
