Spain - 2 year yields at 6.5%

Something that may have gotten lost in the news flow today.  We have 10 year yields reach unsustainable levels, reports of a short selling ban, and 2Q GDP slump 0.4%. What you may have not seen is the 2 year yields reach 6.5%.  The yield curve has flattened significantly and at this rate, Spain will be shut out of the bond market soon.  Tomorrow's bill auctions in Spain will be a true test of the market's appetite for Spanish debt.
