Earlier today, yields on Spanish <a href=\"https:\/\/thestockmarketwatch.com\/markets\/bonds\/today.aspx\">bonds<\/a> soared to a euro-era high. Meanwhile, yields on 10-year Italian <a href=\"https:\/\/thestockmarketwatch.com\/markets\/bonds\/today.aspx\">bonds<\/a> once again crossed 7% mark. Yields on French 10-year bonds also rose today. Apart from the debt crisis, euro zone has also been plagued by weak economic growth. Earlier in the day, a report showed that the euro zone economy grew 0.2% in the third quarter.<\/p>\n<p>However, investors brushed aside the worries about the euro zone.
