Negative Interest Rates on 40% of Outstanding European Government Bonds

Interesting:

 

From Torsten Sløk:

40% of government bonds in Europe now trade with negative interest rates, see chart below. With this backdrop, it is not a surprise that US rates continue to stay low despite solid US economic fundamentals. Put differently, a very important driver of US rates continues to be the outlook for Europe and European rates.
