The 14-day RSI has dropped to 26 – the lowest since April 32017, signaling the sell-off is overdone/oversold conditions. So, a corrective rally could be on the cards, although it all depends on the performance of the Italian bond markets. The 10-year Italy-German yield spread rose to 232 basis points on Monday – the highest level since December 2013. The common currency could take another beating if the yield spread rises further in the EUR-negative manner.
