Sovereign bond yields fall to fresh lows

Driven by global macroeconomic factors, 10-year yields of many sovereign nation bonds have fallen to all-time lows. Ten-year yields in Switzerland, Japan and Germany are all negative. Yields in the U.K. are almost at 1%, driven by the referendum to leave the European Union. U.S. Treasuries are still one of the highest yielding among the largest sovereign bond markets.
