It means that the government may again postpone plans to sell up to $1 billion worth of 2017 bonds as part of Argentina’s restructuring of $12.9 billion in defaulted debt as it did in June. It's yield on 8.75 %bonds due in 2017 surged 36 basis points, or 0.36 percentage point, from Aug. 10 to 12, the biggest two-day jump since the end of June, to 9.95%.
