Spain's Treasury sold 3 billion euros of three and six-month bills today despite essentially increased yields after Sunday's elections. The Treasury bills sold for 2.1 billion euros generate yield of 5.22%, while the same bills sold less than a month ago produced only 2.35% yield. The current sale has bid-to-cover ratio of 4.94% as compared to October's sale ratio of 2.59%.
