      It means no one will buy the debt, it yields nothing, and is a sure fire way to lose value over the longer term. Mo ron.

        If demand reduces at current yields, then the yield will increase.

            German bond yield hits new low as investors pile into safe assets

            Yields are down because the EU is a safe haven.

            I'm alright Jack

                  The reason it yields nothing or negative is because of HIGH DEMAND - you don't even get basic supply/demand economics, do you?

                    Due to ECB QE, print money, buy own debt, rinse and repeat....
