Submitted by Thomas Kolbe
Germany was long seen as a bastion of fiscal stability in the Eurozone. But the erratic fiscal policy of the Merz government is now creating tensions in the bond market. Risk premiums on traditional periphery sovereigns like Italy, Portugal and Spain relative to German Bunds are shrinking.
