MADRID (AP) - The yield on Spain's 10-year government bonds has shot past the 6 percent mark as fears rise the country may eventually be obliged to seek a financial bailout.

The rate jumped to 6.10 percent early Monday on the secondary market, according to FactSet. It closed at 5.93 percent Friday after a week of market tension.

It is the highest rate since the new conservative government took office in December.
