Global negative bond yields – the current state of the bizarre global economy

Neal Bawa discusses his analysis of the current global economy including Bloomberg’s recent report that $17 trillion worth of world-wide bonds have now gone negative — which means the bonds’ yield has fallen below zero. Having $17 trillion dollars of negative yielding debt has never happened in the history of the world before. So how will this affect the real estate market? Is a recession imminent? 

You won’t want to miss the insightful analysis Neal provides, and his advice for real estate investors.

“Today…the [economic] stuff that is happening on a world-wide basis is so ridiculously bizarre, that I can’t imagine anything like this happening.” – Neal Bawa
