Now's the time to buy Italian bonds, says this $2.4 trillion wealth manager

Now's the time to buy Italian bonds, says this $2.4 trillion wealth manager **

· *UBS Wealth Management says that the recent Italian budget presents a buying opportunity for investors.*
· *Fears of what the crisis could lead to have led to surging Italian bond yields and falling prices.*
· *CIO Mark Haefele said on Wednesday that the firm is investing in short term Italian government debt.*
· *UBS, however, warned to stay away from any Italian debt with a maturity of more than two years.*

Amid the market panic surrounding Italy over the last week, the chief investment officer of UBS Wealth Management says now's the time to buy. 

It's a contrarian call: "We are opening an overweight position in two-year Italian government bonds versus cash," Mark Haefele, who works at the $2.4 trillion wealth management arm of the Swiss banking giant, said on Wednesday. "The recent sell-off presents investors with an attractive opportunity." 

Fears had been mounting in Italy over the brewing budget crisis, which could set the country and its leadership on a collision course with the European Union over excessive spending. Bond yields soared -- the country's benchmark 10-year bond is near its highest level since 2014.

Rising yields correspond with falling prices for bonds, and according to one of the world's most prominent wealth management firms, those falling prices represent a opportunistic way in. 

Here's Haefele's reasoning:  

"While we believe that Italy's credit rating is likely to be downgraded by one notch, the country is likely to retain an investment grade rating for at least the next 12 months, and we believe there is only a very low probability that Italy will default within the next two years. Just 13% of the government's bonds need to be rolled over by the end of 2019, so higher yields only gradually increase the cost of debt."

Still, Haefele urges caution. He warns against investing in longer-dated Italian debt, while saying investors should not concentrate their portfolios on Italian bonds.

"There are risks associated with the position," he said. "Italian yields could be pushed higher by escalating tensions between Italy and the European Commission, a breakdown of the current Italian coalition, or the departure of Finance Minister Giovanni Tria."

Is Italy the new Greece? These 6 charts explain why Italy is rattling markets

Is Italy the new Greece? These 6 charts explain why Italy is rattling markets Investors today are breathing a sigh of relief after Italy reportedly bowed to European Union pressure and lowered its budget target. *

What's going on? 

*To say it's been a tumultuous few days in the eurozone's third largest economy would be somewhat of an understatement.*
*

It all started last week, when Italy submitted its spending plans to the EU. The budget came as a shock: the country said it planned to spend a whopping 2.4% more than it makes over the next three years.

This target risked breaching EU rules. Investors balked, sending the country's bonds higher and the euro tumbling.

At one point, the crisis was so acute that some were starting to suggest that Italy could be the next Greece.

"We have to do everything to avoid a new Greece — this time an Italy — crisis," was the damning assessment of European Commission President Jean-Claude Juncker earlier this week.

After some bumpy back and forth, the country is reportedly backing off and cutting its budget deficit target for 2021 to 2%. 

Markets have seen this before, government turmoil has jolted the country twice before in just over two years.

*These charts show what a long, strange trip it's been. *

*SEE ALSO: Everything you need to know about Italy's budget crisis — which threatens to trigger a major market meltdown*

-A high, and rising, budget deficit-

Italy has run a budget deficit consistently over the past 20 years, and although it has shrunk since the financial crisis, it remains at more than 2% of GDP. 

The country's new populist government wants to substantially increase the country's spending on infrastructure projects and social welfare programs. There was pushback from Italy's finance minister, but the populists won the day, at least at first. 

Italy's 2.4% number was higher than expected, and its spending risked falling foul of the European Union's rules on spending and borrowing. Worth noting: any punishment from Brussels would likely stoke further anti-EU sentiment from both of the Eurosceptic governing parties.-Is Italy the new Greece?-

Perhaps the clearest indicator of the rising fear about Italy: the yield on the country's benchmark 10-year government bond.

Yields reflect the surety with which investors think they will get their money back, and tend to move in tandem with the stability of a country's economic and political situation. Government debt from big economies like the US and Japan usually have rock-bottom yields, under the assumption that they will never default.

Italian bond yields have jumped more than 20% in just over a week, rising to almost 3.5%, the highest level since 2014. On Tuesday, the spread between yields on the Italian 10-year bond and that of the Greek 10-year was the lowest since 2009, during the depths of the financial crisis. Greece is largely seen as the least secure economy in the eurozone, and the fact that this gap is now so narrow is a troubling indicator for Italy.-Compare those yields to Germany, the eurozone's largest and most powerful economy-

What's going on the Italian bond market is made even more clear when looking at a chart displaying the spread — the gap in yield — between Italy's 10-year bond and the 10-year German bund. On Tuesday, that gap climbed above 3%. Germany's 10-year trading at a roughly 0.4% yield.

Germany's government debt is widely seen as being one of the safest investment vehicles on the planet, thanks to the countries staunch commitment to running a budget surplus. Italy, on the other hand, is looking increasingly unsafe to investors, sending bond yields soaring.
