from wsj.com By CYNTHIA LIN NEW YORK—The U.S. government sold debt at a record low yield Thursday, as buyers accepted a negative payment for the second time in history on 10-year notes that shield them from the threat of inflation. Buyers accepted a negative-0.089% yield in the sale of $13 billion of 10-year Treasury Inflation-Protected Securities, or TIPS, reflecting their willingness to pay a premium to own U.S. government debt, perhaps on the belief that they will be compensated with rising inflation down the line. In January, the securities sold at a negative-0.046% yield.
