germ456BERLIN: Germany sold 4.083 billion euros of 0.0 percent two-year Schatz notes on Wednesday, attracting less demand than at a previous auction as optimism that the euro zone is readying action to stem its crisis dampened appetite for safe-haven assets.

Germany's second Schatz to pay no interest to investors drew bids of just 1.5 times the amount allotted compared with 2.0 times at a previous auction in July.
