“Germany’s benchmark for how much it costs the government to borrow money is plunging lower and lower — and on this trend, it’s just a matter of time before investors are actually paying to hold the government’s debt. The 10 year bund yield, which is the most commonly used indicator of how much or how little a government is paying on its debt, is now yielding less than 0.1%. Government debt doesn’t usually offer big returns for investors unless it’s a risky government — but it does usually offer something. Now we’re in a bizarre climate where investors will effectively pay — and lose money — to hold onto government debt, at least for some countries, because it feels safer than the alternatives.”
