LONDON: Germany's 10-year government bond yield fell to a record low on Friday as a vow by US President Donald Trump to slap tariffs on Mexican goods heightened world recession fears.
The yield on Germany's 10-year bonds, regarded as one of the safest assets in the world, tumbled over 3 basis points to minus 0.205pc.
That pushed past a previous record low hit in July 2016 -- just after Britain's decision to leave the European Union rattled world markets.
Yields on French and Dutch bonds also hit fresh lows .
