“Waiting for death”
In the German language, the word "Rente" not only stands for the pension benefits of pensioners but is also anoth-er term for fixed-income securities (bonds). These were or are securities that offer the owner an annual, usually fixed rate of interest - like a pension. This is no longer the case at present. The deep slide of certain segments of the bond market into negative interest rates, for example German federal bonds, has massive consequences, which will be pointed out and discussed here.
