European Bond Yields 2/27/12

Greece 10-year yield continues higher, now at a ridiculous 34.42%. Here are the current yields as a new trading week begins.
10-Year Yields:
Greece 34.42%
Portugal 12.69%
Hungary 8.65%
Italy 5.46%
Spain 5.05%
Belgium 3.67%
France 2.95%
Netherlands 2.36%
U.K. 2.05%
U.S. 1.95%
Germany 1.89%

Portugal up a few basis points since Friday, so the focus and concern will increase each passing day. Hungary pulled back down since Friday by almost 20 basis points, but, as we have watched over the last month, it is a beach ball under water and sure to explode higher again.  For now, there is no talk of Hungary as a concern, perhaps 9% will signal trouble. Portugal and Hungary are the two major concerns right now. The other yields are moving sideways.  Germany and the U.S. are back under 2%.
