Yield

The Greek bonds market has deteriorated further this week following the Eurogroup's decision to postpone the payout of the 5.7-billion-euro bailout tranche to Greece and the disagreement between Finance Minister Euclid Tsakalotos and European Central Bank President Mario Draghi.

Greek bond yields continued to rise Tuesday, increasing worries about the cost of borrowing the country will face once it has to cover all of its financing needs through the market. At the same time Finance Minister Euclid Tsakalotos is adamant that Greece will not need a precautionary credit line and is embarking on a series of contacts in an attempt to attract investor interest.

The issue of Eurobank's covered bonds was completed successfully on Wednesday, marking the Greek lender's return to international markets for the first time since 2014.

The bond's yield ended up below 3 percent.

The harvest in Dobrich is almost over. More than 30 per cent of the wheat area of ​​1 million and 213 decares has been harvested. The average yield is 569 kg / ha and the quality of the grain is very good, the BGNES correspondent for the region reported.

The yield on a Greek government bond maturing in 2019 fell on Monday to its lowest level since it was issued three years ago, as Athens prepared to end a three-year exile from financial markets.

For the first time since 2014, the environment is benign for Greece's quest to return to the bond markets: the completion of the second bailout review, the improved state of the Greek economy and the revitalized sense of purpose in the eurozone after Emmanuel Macron's victory in France all pave the road to success.

Greek 10-year government bond yields edged 11 basis points higher to 6.1 percent on Tuesday, following a German press report saying Athens may opt out of its next bailout payment if creditors cannot strike a debt relief deal.

This could leave Greece without the cash to pay debts falling due in July, opening up the possibility of default. Athens dismissed the report.

Demand for OPAP bonds was more than twice the amount offered at last week's public offering, with the gaming company allocating 200,000 common bearer bonds of 1,000 euros each for a total of 200 million euros.

The total demand across the yield range from investors that participated in the offer was 421 million euros.

The final yield has been set at 3.50 percent.

Greek state bond yields jumped on Wednesday to levels unseen since last June, when markets took a hit from the British referendum to leave the European Union. It is no surprise international agencies are particularly cautious about Greece.

Wind Hellas has met with high-yield bond investors in London to gauge their appetite ahead of a potential return to the debt market, according to people with knowledge of the matter.
