Portugal sold all 1.25 billion euros ($1.42 billion) on offer of 10- and 15-year bonds in an auction on Wednesday, with yields hitting record lows in such regular sales.
State debt agency IGCP said the allotment yield on the benchmark June 2029 maturity fell to 0.639pc, way below 1.059pc at the previous auction in May.
The yield in the auction was below Wednesday's secondary market level of 0.655pc.
The longer bond yielded 1.052pc, compared to 1.563pc in the previous auction of the same maturity last month.
The IGCP sold 625 million euros of the 10-year bonds and 625 million euros of the 15-year bonds.
Demand exceeded the amount placed by 1.80 times on the 10-year bond and 1.63 times on the longer maturity.
