Sort of. You also have to consider exchange rate futures, the value of the currency you will be getting paid in may change dramatically.

Is the euro doing or expected to do something strange?

Not sure, not my domain. My comment was just highlighting that comparing the yields on two sovereign bonds with the same maturity doesn’t necessarily mean one is riskier than the other, there are other factors.

The main complaint from Greece and Italy has been that Germany (and maybe even France) demanded (and got) strong monetary discipline for the Euro, so I'm pretty sure that the Euro itself isn't going to affect their debt much.

Hopefully I'm looking at the right thing, but it looks like market expections are that you will get more USD per EUR in the future: https://www.cmegroup.com/markets/fx/g10/euro-fx.quotes.html

Maybe the USD is expected to lose value against the euro?

Eurobonds being discussed again maybe?
