   falling for the third straight day as investors wait a prospect that Italy . Europe's third largest economy could be the next country unable to meet its debt obligations. Here to explain what all this means as Bloomberg Allen Raymond Allen thanks so much for joining us goods. That was a tough day yesterday on the markets what are we expecting today they're still these fears over the European debt crisis -- you know we had -- for what seven weeks or so it was really the main theme we had a bit of a breather. As Greece has some relief and then really the last few days. That concerns. Really shifted to Italy as well we're -- Italy is a hundred. And 19%. Debt to GDP ratio so that's one of the major concerns there. And we -- this morning it looked like we're headed for really steep selloff we had major benchmarks in up France as -- in Germany down more than 2% we're looking. Here as well some steep losses in the S&P. But in the last hours so we've -- some comments out of some European Union officials so. We have seen those losses really parent I take a look right now here at the open. Were flat for the Dow the S&P is up pretty flat as well in the benchmark averages in France as well -- in Germany . They as well have really -- so again. You're getting a little bit as we tend to do when you get these comments. From the European officials say look we're in here were scrambling we're gonna do something. To make sure these countries don't default investors kind of stepped back from that edge there and not outsourcing right now yeah trying to read the tea leaves as ever. How is this affecting interest rates. You know it's been very interesting to track what's -- and looking at today. Is what's happening to rates. In Italy for example. You have yields there right now at about 6%. On at ten year bond being sold by the government that's gonna be about three percentage points more. Then what someone is paying for the equivalent of a German Bonnie keep in mind here in the US you've got the ten year -- right now at two point 9% to even though -- Very big debt problems here at home people are still seeing. The US as that flight to safety play. So again across the border with interesting Italy for example. As well as in Spain we're talking now of investors looking at these bonds like they're junk that means they're pricing and a risk of these bonds
