Today Portugal is facing a major public debt repayment operation in which it has to return six billion euros in Treasury Bonds (OT) to investors, at a date considered premature compared to the previous year.

The decision reflects cautious management of expectations surrounding European Central Bank (ECB) interest rates and the electoral environment in the United States, say reports.
