Italy's government set to compromise on a 1.9% budget deficit - report

According to a report by La Stampa

That should be good news for Italian bond investors even though that slight exceeds Tria's 1.5% to 1.8% level. According to the report here, Di Maio suggested a 2.8% deficit but later backtracked on that suggestion.

Expect Italian assets to kick start the day on a positive note on the back of this.
