Sovereign bond yields ... remained near record highs for much of the day but finished a little lower at 7.623 per cent.The Greece 10 year yield was up to 11.46%, and the Portugal 10 year yield fell slightly to 6.51%.
...
However, the spread ... on 10-year money reached 5.34 per cent yesterday, the most since Bloomberg began collecting the data in 1991, before narrowing to 5.2 per cent.
Just something to watch ... best wishes to all
