To explain in simplified terms, yields are dropping so much because investors dont have confidence in the economy and are investing in government debt as a save haven and as such, rates drop Higher rates signifies either higher inflation, stronger economy or both (often the two go hand in hand) Lower rates means either low inflation, weak economic growth prospects, or both (also tend to go hand in hand) Only when things get soooooooooooo bad that investors doubt the governments ability to keep up with payments does a weaker economy or high debt start to actually raise rates as was the case with Greece, Italy, Portugal and Spain in 2010 when Eurozone.debt crisis began Hence why @Loeppke @FATCAT said it isnt good and @Delusional which for some reason I cant tag Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
