Here’s Why Janet Yellen Should Be More Worried About Negative Rates

The collapse in global bond yields is not healthy, or normal.

It’s been a big week in the global bond market with the German 10-year bund yield falling below zero for the first time ever, Swiss 30-year debt flirting with negative territory, and U.S. Treasury yields falling to the lowest levels in 16 months.
