Economy

U.S. ten-year government bonds have provided significantly higher yields than German ten-year bonds over the last two years, with the former yielding 2.3 percent in the week of May 23, 2019 compared to -0.1 percent for the latter.

Being safe but low-return investments, treasury bond yields are generally considered an indicator of investor confidence about the economy. A rising yield indicates falling rates and falling demand, meaning that investors prefer invest in higher-risk, higher-reward investments; a falling yield suggests the opposite.
