A look at drop in bond yields across Europe

Financial market turbulence in the 17-country eurozone has eased dramatically since mid-summer. That is most evident in the interest rate, or yield, on countries' bonds. When bond yields fall, it means investors are more confidence in a country's public finances.

Here's a look at the yields on the benchmark 10-year bonds for key countries in the eurozone.

Country	10-year bond yield (July 24, 2012)	10-year bond yield (Nov.9, 2012)
Spain	7.54	5.81
Italy	6.44	4.92
Greece	25.23	15.96
Ireland	6.19	4.78
Portugal	10.23	8.66
France	2.24	2.02
Netherlands	1.75	1.62
Belgium	2.70	2.33
