For the first time in the last 15 months the Greek 10-year bond exceeded the psychological threshold of 10%, says Bloomberg. As mentioned, at around 1pm rates went to 10.18%, as investors were leaving for fear of a Grexit.
The same uphill course was followed by three-year bonds that moved near 14%. It is an example of the concern that has occupied investors a few days before parliamentary elections. Investors believe that in view of elections on January 25 the short risk of the country has increased significantly.

Meanwhile, the liquidity of Greece and quantitative easing is expected to be at the focus of the special meeting of the Board of the European Central Bank today.
