The political situation presented a surprise again to the markets. On Friday, we expected a smooth exit of investors for the weekend and even quite a calm Monday.

The Party of Socialists was accepted even by the "Citizens" party, which was allied with Rajoy. The members of the ruling People's Party (M. Rajoy) were accused by the court of evading taxes, fraud, and money laundering.
On this news, state Spanish bonds jumped in yields (1-year-olds from -0.348 to -0.198% at the moment, 10-year from 1.390% to 1.530%). They were joined by Italian government bonds, which were also pressured by their own political problems (annual yields increased from -0.190% to 0.050%, for 10-year-olds from 2.413% to 2.470%). Here, the markets are afraid of the appointment of Paolo Savona, the famous aggressive Eurosceptic, to the post of Minister of Finance.

The situation is aggravated by the fact that previously elected to the post of Prime Minister of Italy Giuseppe Conte refused to lead the coalition government.
