Another point- The fear is contributed by weak economics reports from Germany and China. Now China..couldn't that be a signal that the trade impact may be having on their economy? That's food for thought, but I don't think you'll ever hear that type of comment on MSM.
This is absolutely true- Kudlow pointed out last week that the rest of the world's economy has been sputtering for several years. Now with the Chinese facing a drop in sending goods to the US, they are buying more US Treasuries, driving demand for Treasuries up, and the interest it pays down. Our Robust economy can power through the tariff, whereas their's cant.
Most of the Scandanavian countries have been paying either ZERO percent on their treasuries, and are looking at paying NEGATIVE rates going forward. Germany is already paying minus .88%.
