Italian Debt Auction

Italy today sold 9 billion euros ($11.8 billion) of six- month Treasury bills at half the yield it agreed to pay at an auction of the securities last month. The Rome-based Treasury sold the 179-day bills at a rate of 3.251 percent, down from 6.504 percent on Nov. 25. Demand was 1.7 times the amount on offer, compared with 1.47 times last month.

Italy also sold 1.733 billion euros of 2013 notes today to yield 4.853 percent, compared with a yield of 7.814 percent at the last auction on Nov. 25. The bid-to-cover ratio was 2.24, compared with 1.59 last month. Tomorrow Italy will auction four different securities, including a 10-year bond.
