Ireland 10-Year Bond Sale Said to Draw $15 Billion Bids

Ireland drew at least 12 billion euros of bids ($15.6 billion) for its first sale of 10-year bonds since the nation’s 2010 bailout, according to people familiar with the matter.

The bond was priced to yield 245 basis points over mid-swaps, a fixed-market benchmark, according to a separate person familiar with the matter who asked not to be identified, as they are not authorized to speak about it. The nation planned to sell as much as 3 billion euros of debt today.
