<<Someone tell me who the F would buy these?>>

Beardstown ladies, trying to neutralize excess profits in their capital gains before the tax year ends!

They are the very definition of "return-free risk"....<NG>

"who the F would buy these?"

someone swaping out of dollars... there are probably more than a few of us that would rather hold Japanese treasuries at 0% (no credit risk sovereign debt) than US treasures at 2% in the current dollar environment.

also recall that Japanese are savers and for them, 0% treasuries may be better than holding hard cash. also Japanese money market funds have to put their excess cash someplace liquid.
