Bloomberg Escreveu:Greek Bonds Surge as EU’s Rehn Offers ‘Support in Broad Sense’

Feb. 9 (Bloomberg) -- Greek bonds jumped after the European Union signaled it may aid Greece in return for progress by the country in reducing the bloc’s biggest budget deficit.

The advance pushed the Greek 10-year bond yield down the most since at least 1998. Olli Rehn, who takes over as European economic affairs commissioner tomorrow, said the group may offer “support in the broad sense of the word.”

German Chancellor Angela Merkel’s government is preparing an assistance package, Financial Times Deutschland reported.

European Central Bank President Jean-Claude Trichet will leave a gathering of policy makers in Sydney a day early today to attend a summit of European Union leaders.

“The fact that Trichet is flying home early has really set the world alight, which makes it difficult to be short high yielders today,” said David Keeble, head of fixed-income strategy in London at Credit Agricole CIB. “Not all the high yielders are the devil.”

European leaders are scheduled to meet on Feb. 11 to discuss the economic outlook of nations including Greece.

The Portuguese-German 10-year spread narrowed 18 basis points to 144 basis points, and the difference between Spanish and German securities dropped 12 basis points to 88 basis points.

NEW YORK (Reuters) - Stocks rose broadly on Tuesday, with the Dow on track for its largest daily percentage advance since July, on reports euro zone countries will come to the aid of debt-stricken Greece.

The U.S. dollar fell against the euro, boosting commodity prices and shares of natural resources companies.

A senior German ruling coalition source said euro zone governments have decided in principle to help Greece and that various options were being considered.

"I would see that as good news (for the stock market), knowing that there's a backer there, that those nations will be able to back up the (Greek) debt," said John O'Brien, senior vice president at MKM Partners LLC in Cleveland.

The Dow Jones industrial average (DJI:^DJI - News) rose 205.64 points, or 2.08 percent, to 10,114.03. The Standard & Poor's 500 Index (^SPX - News) added 20.05 points, or 1.90 percent, to 1,076.79. The Nasdaq Composite Index (Nasdaq:^IXIC - News) gained 35.34 points, or 1.66 percent, to 2,161.39.

Germany is preparing an aid package for Greece and considering both bilateral help and measures agreed at the European level, a German newspaper also reported, citing German coalition sources.

Concerns over rising debt in Greece and some other euro zone countries have sapped confidence from equity markets.

Oil futures gained 2.4 percent to $73.60 per barrel, and the S&P energy sector (SNP:^GSPE - News) added 2.6 percent.

The stock market also gained from earnings and brokerage upgrades.

Caterpillar Inc (NYSE:CAT - News) shares jumped 6.1 percent to $53.88, making it the biggest gainer on the blue-chip index.

Morgan Stanley raised its rating on the industrial sector, saying those companies' share prices should catch up to an improving business environment. Rockwell Automation Inc (NYSE:ROK - News) rose 2.9 percent to $49.87 and Ingersoll-Rand Inc (NYSE:IR - News) added 3.7 percent to $34.10, adding to the Caterpillar boost to the sector.
