Quote: "Bunds were yielding 0.94 percent in Tuesday (On April 21th 2015) morning trade, up 19.8 percent on the session but down nearly 83 percent year to date.

Traders have been piling into the nation's debt ever since European Central Bank President Mario Draghi announced his intention to commence U.S.-style quantitative easing , a debt-buying program aimed at keeping yields low and goosing the financial markets with liquidity."

Opinion: As now everybody might know the Fed is expected to tell on wednesday, September 20th 2017, how to reduce it's huge balance sheet. Expected is a 10 billion drop monthly in Q1 2018. Also expected is that the fed will add 10 billion each quarter. In Q4 2018 the fed is expected to lower it's balance sheet by 50 billion USD monthly. It is unlikely that the ECB not to start tapering in the next 6 month. Bund Yields should rise, the EURO BUNDFUTURE should drop now. Maybe it's not a short of a lifetime, but after a 2 years sideways range it is becoming a short now and it's unlikely that stockmarkets are going to like it.
