Gold vs Negative Interest Rates
Looks like the Bank of England Central Bank had a rude awakening today. Seems there was not much interest in their Bonds offering Negative Interest. Imagine that… Got any Gold??? 😉

It baffles me why bother to bid for less returns.
LOL
and good point Surf
You sure that is the correct interpretation – as far as I read it no-one would SELL them long dated bonds because they are the only ones that really pay any yield, so they went ‘no offer’ (not no bid).
It’s madness anyway. It’s getting interesting if no-one will sell you bonds at any price. It was supposed to happen with gold not bonds according to Professor Antal Fekete. There you go. So much for his theories.
Maybe there is a massive bubble blow off rally in long dated bonds coming?
