[Reuters] Spain issues 5.5 bln euros in T-bills, yields down
MADRID, May 17 (Reuters) - Spain's Treasury issued 5.5
billion euros ($7.81 billion) of 12- and 18-month T-bills on
Tuesday, top of the targetted range and at lower yields than the
previous auction of either paper in April.
The 12-month bill was 2.5 times subscribed, after 1.6 at the
last auction, and sold 4.3 billion euros at a yield of 2.546
percent, down from 2.770 percent in April.
The 18-month bill sold 1.2 billion euros at a yield of 3.095
percent compared to 3.364 percent last month and was 4.1 times
subscribed after 2.0.
The Treasury-bill issue comes ahead of a long-term bond
auction on Thursday of benchmark 10- and 30-year sovereign bonds
when the government hopes to issue between 3 and 4 billion
euros.
