Argentina May Pay Above 12 Percent for First Post-Default Fixed-Rate Bond

(Bloomberg) -- Argentina will likely pay more than
12 percent per year for its first issue of a fixed-rate peso
bond as yields on U.S. Treasuries exceeded 5 percent for the

The government seeks to sell as much as 1.5 billion pesos
($488 million) in the first such sale since defaulting on $95

New York time today.
