“On Wednesday, Finland became the first nation in the region to pay a negative yield on five-year debt sold at auction, suggesting that investors are unperturbed by the country’s weak economic expansion and its dependence on troubled Eastern Europe. German government bonds offer negative yields on maturities up to six years, according to Tradeweb, as do bonds issued by Denmark. Five-year government debt carries a negative yield in the Netherlands, Austria, Sweden and Finland, and four-year government debt in France and Belgium. In Switzerland, bonds with a maturity of up to a staggering 13 years offer less than zero in terms of yield.”
