($) Markets are a ever changing dynamic. This morning on 06/10/15 "The U.S. Treasury on Monday sold a new government security with a three-month maturity and a yield of zero for the first time on record, reflecting the highest demand since June.
In essence, buyers gave a free short-term loan to the U.S. government in exchange for a highly liquid debt instrument for their portfolio." What might this suggest?

I wonder if a fund manager had to buy it to keep their portfolio of government bonds intact to accomodate new investment into their fund. Even CDs have yields of 0.3% right now.

sounds like high demand from dollars leaving volatile markets

I'd also cite 'everyones' thinking that interest rates have nowhere to go but up "chatter" has been faulty forecasting, eeh? iirc Europe's been dealing with negative interest rates recently too, just a thought. That plus no ss COLAS in 16" suggest considering deflationary considerations, but that too is forecasting, time will tell. Good luck!

I don't see why the fed needs to go to negative rates. How would they help the economy by doing so?

Is it geared for the Europeans who now have NIRP bonds?

QE  is nothing but negative interest rates. Maybe they are going up to zero % interest.

There's not a chance in hell that I'd buy
a Bond issued by the U.S. Treasury.

The next Fed offering http://online.wsj.com/mdc/public/page/2_3020-tips-20151015.html?mod=mdc_pastcalendar will be on the secondary market 10/22/15 with a benchmarked offering of 1.119%, thats a negative real rate with standard inflations 3.3% estimated value. How would that help? I'd not speculate on it, I do not know. good luck!
