Portugal Yield at 13% Says Greek Deal Not Unique: Euro Credit

The good news is Greece won’t default on March 20, and 10-year borrowing costs for Spain and Italy dropped below 5 percent. The bad news is similar-maturity Portuguese bonds still yield more than 13 percent.

Last week, Greece pushed through the biggest sovereign restructuring in history, with private holders forgiving more than 100 billion euros ($131 billion) of debt, a condition for the nation to win the bailout it needs to repay 14.5 billion euros of debt coming due next week.
