Italian term

giustificabili dai fondamentali

Italian to English Bus/Financial Economics
I'm having troubles understanding the meaning of "giustificabili dai fondamentali" in this context:
Il settore dei corporate (i titoli societari) ha raggiunto i livelli minimi di spread nel corso dei primi mesi dell’anno, sulla scia delle eccellenti performance del 2004. I livelli raggiunti a febbraio erano difficilmente giustificabili dai fondamentali, per quanto questi fossero in netto miglioramento. In effetti l’aumento delle posizioni speculative e l’uso della leva finanziaria erano gli artefici dell’ultima fase di compressione degli spread

hard to justify on fundamentals

'Fundamentals' means the genuine factors which ought to influence the prices of securities, principally the performance/financial health of the relevant companies and the state of the economy as a whole, as opposed to market trends/trading strategies, which is what has happened here

While much can be written as to what actually constitutes the fundamentals of supply and demand, essentially it boils down to four major elements: time, price, volume and momentum. These four factors, when combined, produce the most powerful and accurate method for performing fundamental analysis of securities and commodities. (...)

(difficult) to explain based on basic principles

Or perhaps something like: "On basic principles, the XXX were difficult to explain"
