Published Updated

"Given what we've been seeing in Asia, equities being weaker and bond markets having a good bid, there's a certain element of directionality to the spread," one trader said.

The Greek/German 10-year yield spread was last at 940 basis points, 11 bps wider on the day. Other peripheral spreads versus Bunds were wider as well.
