It's a bet on currency appreciation and a safe place to stow cash in the midst of financial sector troubles.

A 10 year bond would still have a positive yield in a negative short term interest rat environment.

Federal Reserve wants to test how U.S. Banks would handle negative interest rates. Hmmmm.


quote:

As interest rates turn negative around the world, the Federal Reserve is asking banks to consider the possibility of the same happening in the U.S.

In its annual stress test for 2016, the Fed said it will assess the resilience of big banks to a number of possible situations, including one where the rate on the three-month U.S. Treasury bill stays below zero for a prolonged period.
