"I have no doubts that there is going to be a very collegial discussion and, hopefully, at the end of this, we'll come out with some white smoke." Yields Fall Investors are betting a potential financial calamity in the form of Greece being forced out of the euro will be avoided. Greek bonds rose for a third day, sending the yield on the three-year notes down 26 basis points, to 16.8 percent, at 5:25 p.m. in Athens. That compares with a record 128 percent in March 2012. The Athens Stock Exchange benchmark index slid 0.3 percent, paring initial gains. "Hopes for a compromise at today's Eurogroup have been raised," analysts including Nikos Koskoletos at Athens-based Eurobank Equities wrote in a note to clients on Friday. "The key stumbling block remains the clearer language regarding the conclusion of the current program, as demanded by Greece's creditors, and more details regarding the attainment of fiscal targets."
