The only party who is buying bonds at a negative interest rate are central banks, buying up safe government bonds from private investors to drive them into risk-taking assets. The "risk" of the negative yield to each central bank is known and easily paid for. Central banks of both China and Europe are buying bonds at a negative real-yield. Due to inflation, the yield on the bonds in China have an even greater negative yield than those in Europe with no real measurable inflation. Brexit continues to be a shit show pushing down the value of the Pound and thus driving up inflation. Products from Amazon.co.uk continue to be a source of bargains relative to Amazon.com, even after paying the international shipping cost from the UK to US.
