The euro zone's temperature chart the spread of bond yields over German bunds is gradually narrowing.
The statistical spread of bond distances (σIn O) due to thermal motion and/or static disorder ranges from a low of ∼0.0054 Å to a high of ∼0.0085 Å, Figure 6c.
This information can include M O and M M′ coordination numbers (N) and bond distances (R) as well as the statistical spread of bond distances due to thermal motion and/or static disorder; this last factor is of particular interest in amorphous materials.
The spread of Greek bonds over bunds fell back a bit last week after the European Commission accepted Greek government assurances that it would slash its budget deficit this year.
Since the end of July the average yield spread of junk bonds over Treasurys has widened from 3.7% to 6.6%, suggesting that Wall Street thinks that much worse is in store for weak borrowers.

"It's true that you have a widening of spreads of French bonds over German bonds, but you have also a widening of spreads of Dutch bonds over German bonds, of Austrian bonds and Finnish bonds over German bonds," Mr. Mills said.
X-ray absorption spectroscopy and EXAFS analysis were performed on these samples to determine the indium oxygen coordination number (NIn O) and the average indium oxygen bond distance (RIn O), as well as the statistical spread of the bond distance (σIn O).
Additionally the next-nearest neighbor indium indium coordination number (NIn–In) and the bond distance (RIn–In), as well as the statistical spread of the bond distance (σIn–In), were determined.
With all the hysterical talk about slowing takeovers with legislation, about curbing the spread of junk bond acquisitions and foreign buying of U.S. assets, few people seem aware that our current tax code passed by Congress and approved in general by the business community provides a huge bounty to people whether Americans or foreigners, who want to take over companies.
