Hold on a sec... You wanna spreadbet Spanish and Italian govt bonds? If so, I wish you the best of luck...

If I were you, I'd check to see if any SB shop out there offers Eurex BTP futures.

I'd imagine the spread on BTP would be real wide. Are you looking to trade each position for a big move? Because I'm guessing scalping wouldn't be worth it

akex started this thread I'd be trading a large move so would be OK with largish spreads (within reason).

There you go... Eurex BTP futures are a way to go, but be aware that liquidity in those is about 1/100th of that of the Bund.
