(Reuters) - Portugal sold all 750 million euros ($791.85 million) of 2030 bonds in an auction on Wednesday, state debt agency IGCP said.

According to IGCP, the allotment yield on the bond maturing in 2031 jumped to 1.767%, from 1.008% in the previous auction of a similar maturity held in February.

The 10-year bond yield in the secondary market trades at around 2.1%.

Demand exceeded the amount placed by 1.86 times.
