LONDON (MarketWatch) -- Greece's first bond sale since its bailout in 2010 will raise 3 billion euros ($4.15 billion) at a yield of 4.95%, according to media reports Thursday, citing people familiar with the matter. The demand came in at more than €20 billion, helping push the yield lower than what was expected by Greek officials ahead of the sale. Reuters said on Wednesday Greece initially priced the sale at a yield between 5% and 5.25% and aimed at raising €2.5 billion. With the five-year bond sale, Greece returns to the capital markets for the first time since it was bailed out by international lenders in 2010 and agreed to the biggest sovereign-debt restructuring in history in 2012. In the secondary market, the yield on 10-year Greek benchmark government bonds gr:10yr_gre was slightly lower at 5.833%, according to electronic training platform Tradeweb. On Wednesday, the 10-year yield fell below 6% for the first time since 2010.
