Bond yields dive on news of Anglo restructuring plan

THE MARKETS seem to have responded strongly to news of the Anglo Irish Bank restructuring plan. The 10-year bond yield had sat at 6.046% in the forty minutes before the restructure was announced; in the minutes afterward it fell to 6.012% and is now falling back to the happier side of the 6% mark, at 5.991% within an hour after the plan was announced.
