Spanish Government Bonds In Focus

As the interest rate strategists at Commerzbank write today, despite hope for better sentiment in the weeks ahead:

At the same time, the risks of a re-widening in spreads from lower levels later this year have increased. Should politicians fail to come up with a coherent plan to ring-fence Greece in the case of default, highly adverse consequences like a bank run in Greece or Spanish yields moving to unsustainable levels cannot be ruled out.

However, this is one area to keep an eye on.
