Germany Is (Almost) Japan: Bund Yield Plunges To Record 0.33%
At 32.5bps, Germany's 10Y Bund closed at a record low today (within 4bps of Japan's 10Y yield). The Japanification of Europe is almost complete.

I can hear all that money flying over here to buy US Ts
Germany is almost Japan, Big time aging population and excess realestate due to a more deaths than births.
Except for Fukushima, earthquakes, and people running around dressed like stuffed animals, or robots, or popsicles...
I'd been led to believe that "Deflation" was a football phenomena
The doctor also sais it is an impotence thing.
trend be your friend...
I have a dick!
You have a pussy!
So whats the problem?
Lets do it quickly!

Carry trade eliminated.
The difference is the Europe is attempting to compensate ( avoid Japaniification) by having a liberal immigration policy. This is backfiring on them quickly. Collapsing the bankster system is really the only solution.
If they simply had more pro-maternity policies like the northern European countries they wouldn't need the massive amount of immigration. When a society "progresses" itself to not reproducing something is terribly wrong. They the Germans are on the brink of and the Japanese are committing cultural suicide. No amount of QE can fix a demographic challenge.
Or maybe something is terribly wrong and that's why they are not reproducing?
more pro-maternity policies
<facepalm> parrots the politician soundbites like a good serf
Say what you will, but extinction is a damn fine way to save face.
Having kids is a mandatory cut to your standard of living, unless of course you don't work, and you are in the US illegally, then it's a subsidized activity.
DEBT/GDP japan>Yurp>US
Bond Yields US>Yurp>US
US will become Yurp. Yurp will turn Japanese.
Deflation. Shits going to go a lot lower.
Somehow, I'd rather hold German gov't debt than Japan's debt.
NONSENSE! Bond markets know all. What this is saying that the risk of holding either is equal.
.. cough.. snicker... teeheehee.heeeheehee HAAHAAHAAAAA BWAAHAAHAAHAAHAAHAA.....
Sorry, I couldn't type that with a straight face.
Yes, soon we will all be paying our own interest.
At least the matresses will be nice and firm from all the cash people will be stuffing into them
everyone piling into german debt is a bet on euro breakup
if/when germany leaves ... its debt repriced in marks (which will skyrocket) ... make a bundle on currency
Agreed, the end will be a Dexit and not a Grexit
Why on earth would a debtor voluntarily change the currency in which their debt is denominated?
When the dollar fails I plan to use worthless dollars to pay off my mortgage.
This is the way it has always been done. Someone will always pop up and say 'the evil bankers will force us' or the government will...' but historically these efforts have always failed. From France in 1712 to France in 1796 to the Weimar and so on....no one ever lost their property because the money was too easy to repay.
Mexico is sometimes cited as an example in which homes were lost in a crisis but looking at the facts that situation was just like 2008 here in the US....homes were lost because people could not come up with the cash.
Hyperinflation is coming and if you are really trying to prepare you need to read up. When Money Dies and Hyperinflation in France (White) are good places to start. The idea that 'anything can happen' is not a worthwhile subject as it leads to no good actions to consider. Look at history and you will see what has the highest probability (by far) of happening again.
Das Gud!
Das boot!
They need to turn the boot before the bubble pops
...and in other news...Obama to appear in public with the Dali Lama. Rather interesting on multiple levels...most notably pissing off the Chinese. Its as if this administration wants to burn as many political bridges as possible and start WW3
Funny, as an anti-war protestor, I remember thinking the same thing days before Shrub invaded Iraq. I stayed up all night long the night it started rearranging my entire worldview around this revelation.
That was the night I realized without a doubt that the world was run by the mafia.
Must have something to do with the, "Asia pivot".
I remember when my money market used to pay 16%. I guess things are different now.
But only about 17%.
Japanification? How PC of you.
But it doesn't exactly roll off my tongue.
I would have gone with Japification.
Got Nipped?
Is it a coincidence that Japan and Germany have the most fucked up porn?
Ja, it's true.
Why the fuck would anyone buy bonds? Patriotism?... faaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaack! Fucking ridiculous!
Looks like rearmament is back on the table.

Did you hear the Iphone 6 has a bigger screen ????

Happy camper today!

No, Germany isn't Japan.
Germany's industrial/economic history shows a country that can innovate things and develop things. The Germans are original thinkers and idea developers.
Japan? An original thought or idea would die of loneliness over there. The Japs are great at copying other nations ideas and innovations, but ask them to develop something of their own and they deliver fuck all.
Germany might consider debt relief for Greece as a measure to halt deflation in the Euro zone. Just sayin.
