Ireland raises €1B in return to bond auctions

• It's first bond auction since September 2010, Ireland sold 10-year notes priced to yield 2.967%, the lowest on record for 10-year paper. Ten-year U.S. Treasury notes at 2.66% yield only 30 basis points less!
• The country's National Treasury Management Agency did raise 10-year money in January, but that was through banks, rather than an auction.
