The yield on the Italian debt rose to 2.767 percent from the 2.697 percent paid on July 12. Demand was 1.69 times the offer versus 1.55 times at the previous sale.

Bank of England Governor Mervyn King sees no clear end to euro area debt crisis. The gloomy outlook for the euro area debt crisis is weighing on the U.K. economy, King wrote in an article in Dailymail over the weekend.
“If the rest of the world were growing normally, the rebalancing and recovery of our economy would be much easier,” he said. “But it isn’t. Even the rapidly expanding emerging market economies are slowing, and the problems of the euro area continue with no obvious end in sight,” he wrote.
The Bank of England could do much more to foster the recovery of the economy, Adam Posen, an outgoing member of the bank’s Monetary Policy Committee said in an interview to the Financial Times.
The central bank could be much more effective in fostering economic recovery if it ditched “anguished religious ethics” over what it considered reasonable intervention, Posen was quoted as saying during the interview published on Sunday.
