Greek, Portuguese and Spanish bonds surged and German bunds slid after the European Union crafted an unprecedented package of measures to tackle the regionâs sovereign debt crisis.
The gains drove yields on Greek two-year notes down by 890 basis points after the 16 euro nations agreed to offer financial assistance worth as much as 750 billion euros ($962 billion) to countries under attack from speculators and the European Central Bank said it will buy government and private securities for the first time in its 12-year history. Portugalâs two-year yields slid 174 basis points. Spainâs declined 73 basis points.
