Yields on short term bonds -- the return investors get for lending Germany money -- were already negative because of the poor European economic outlook. They sank further to a record low Wednesday as the German government borrowed five billion euros ($5.35 billion) over two years at a yield of minus 0.38%.
Analysts say the terrorist attacks in Paris raise the chances that theEuropean Central Bank will announce plans next month to buy even more bonds or cut official interest rates again -- which would drive returns for investors even lower -- to boost the economy and inflation.
