TIPS Yield Goes Negative for First Time

online.wsj.com

excerpt:

The government sold five-year Treasury Inflation-Protected Securities on Monday at a negative yield for the first time ever and longer-term Treasurys rose, in a sign of investors' strong conviction the Federal Reserve will launch another bond-buying program next week.

The government sold $10 billion in previously sold five-year TIPS at a negative-0.550% yield after selling them at a 0.550% yield when they were originally sold in April.
