•The yield on Greece’s two-year bonds fell 58 basis points to 9.09 percent on Monday, the lowest level since Feb. 13.
•The Greek government has now agreed to preemptively legislate measures which are fiscally neutral. Athens won’t institute any additional austerity; a Greek official told reporters in Brussels.
