Re: "Insane. Or can someone explain to my why it isn't?"
Nope. That's not insane. Government can freely print endless amounts of the linen they call Reserve Notes and is actively doing so. Why should government money managers care if the Treasury has to pay select organizations for the privilege of borrowing the linen? The payment is only in linen, and it's not like the linen is worth anything.

The insanity... in case you haven't yet guessed... isn't that government is screwing with us by lowering interest rates into negative territory. That would be a horrible monetary practice. No, the insanity is that we think they're doing it with money.

Negative Yield?
Sounds insane . . .

I found this :

>>>
In 2019, the share of global government bonds trading with a negative yield has risen to 29%, its highest level since October 2016. Negative yielding debt is a strange phenomenon; buying a bond with a negative yield means that investors are willing to pay, in this case, governments to keep their money safe.Apr 5, 2019
