ECB data published on Monday showed that it once again resisted intervening in government bond markets last week, taking its non-interventionist run to 13 weeks.

UPDATE: 4pm, London time Clock this comment from the ECB's Comical Coene: In credit markets, there's been a fresh assault on the 6.50/6.00 per cent levels for Spain and Italy, respectively. Maybe that has nothing to do with Spanish banking bailout either.
