David Morgan: The Financial World Has Gone Nuts


Every day brings new indications that the financial world is going from already nuts to even nuttier. 

According to Bloomberg, the total amount of bonds outstanding globally that are trading with a negative yield exceed for the first time $15 trillion. 

This includes government and corporate debt, and also some euro junk bonds that have joined the elite group. 

The Fed was dabbling in trying to stop this race that is now leading ever deeper into negative-yield absurdity, and had even tried to reverse it, and got shouted down.
