Catalan separatists are trying to find a way to put off a definitive Declaration of Independence to create space for a negotiated settlement with Spain, according to two people familiar with their plans.The movement’s leaders are divided over their next step, with hardliners from the party CUP demanding the regional government make good on its plans for a unilateral declaration of independence following Sunday’s illegal referendum, according to the people, who asked not to be named because the conversations are private. Regional President Carles Puigdemont’s mainstream separatist group is concerned that such a move would have immediate negative consequences for the economy, the people said.Spain’s benchmark stock index jumped as much as 1.2 percent on the news and settled 2.5 percent higher at 4:02 p.m. The country’s 10-year bond spread narrowed by 6 basis points.
