Over the weekend the euro zone agreed to lend Spain up to $100 billion euros ($125 billion) to help bail out their banking system. Spain has stated it wanted aid for their banking system but wouldn't disclose the total amount until Oliver Wyman and Roland Berger, independent consultancies, gave their assessment of the country's banking system, which is expected before June 21. "The Spanish government declares its intention to request European financing for the recapitalization of the Spanish banks that need it," said Economy Minister Luis de Guindos at a news conference in Madrid.

Spanish bond yields on Tuesday rose to their highest levels since the country began using the euro currency. This has increased speculation that Spain will need a full bailout of its own.
"It is quite likely that Spain needs a full bailout in the near future although policymakers will try all possible options to avoid this outcome, including a revival of bond purchases by the ECB as well as another three-year liquidity operation," said Pavan Wadhwa, JPMorgan's global head of interest rate strategy. "The concern is that the more peripheral debt the official sector holds, worries over subordination mean that the private sector will be less willing to lend to these countries," said Wadhwa.
