UPDATE 3-Germany to price $5 bln 5-yr bond, demand strong
(Updates with quotes)

LONDON, May 24 (Reuters) - Germany will price a $5 billion 5-year government bond, its first foreign currency issue in about 70 years, later on Tuesday and early signs are that demand for the new bond is strong.
The bond, sold through a syndicate of banks, will be priced to yield 12 basis points over comparable U.S. Treasuries, sources close to the deal said.
The is at the bottom end of initial market estimates for a range of between 12 and 15 basis points, suggesting strong demand.
Another market source said the book closed on Monday with orders over $15 billion -- above initial estimates ranging from $11-13 billion.
The sale is part of Germany's attempt to borrow money without affecting its prized euro zone benchmark debt status, which has been recently hurt by Berlin's heavy sales of bonds to help to fund its bulging budget deficit.
"Demand for this bond has been very strong and the allocation is likely to favour real money buyers. You will get a yield premium over U.S. treasury bonds and the bond is well over benchmark size," said Gregor Macintosh, investment director at Standard Life.
He added that the bond might have a scarcity premium. "With deficit problems, Germany is looking at other ways of issuing bonds, it is looking to diversify its sources of demand."
Credit rating agency Standard and Poor's assigned a triple-A rating to the dollar bond earlier on Tuesday.
Europe's benchmark issuer is also tapping into strong demand from Asian central banks for European assets denominated in dollars. With Germany's triple-A rating this bond gives buyers a proxy for a high-yield U.S. Treasury.
"The books have been closed since last night. What we know is that the deal is going to priced at 12 basis points this afternoon," a source close to the deal said.
Germany hired Deutsche Bank, Goldman Sachs and Morgan Stanley for the syndicated bond sale which allows Berlin to reach a wider pool of investors than the traditional auction process.
The five-year U.S. Treasury yield <US5YT=RR> stood 4.0 basis points down on the day at 3.78 percent at 1205 GMT.
TIMELY ISSUANCE
A firm euro, the appeal of safe-haven debt against the backdrop of suffering corporate bond markets and the relatively small size of the bond sale are expected to help the German sale to run smoothly.
Analysts said Germany did not venture into dollar bonds earlier because of the complex, bureaucratic nature of debt issuance in Germany as well as legal impediments. This week was seen as timely as no other euro zone governments are due to issue bonds.
Recent dollar bond sales from euro zone issuers have met with firm demand. Italy sold a $3 billion 3-year global bond in late April, issued with a 4 percent coupon and a spread over 3-year Treasuries of 34 basis points. It has tightened since then to around 28 basis points over Treasuries.
Germany is expected to sell its first inflation-linked bond later this year and market players say issuing a foreign currency bond first is a way of testing the water. ((Reporting by Ana Nicolaci da Costa; editing by David Stamp;
