$10.2 trillion. The amount of bonds globally that have negative yields - TINA
The reason this number is important is because it speaks to perhaps the single-biggest reason stocks seemingly never go down anymore, or not for long if they do, and that is because there is no alternative.
S&P 500 trading at around 26 times earnings, stocks are always expensive — or cheap — for a reason.
And one big reason is the outlook for earnings. The S&P 500 is expected to generate record profits per share of around $220 this year, up from an estimated $209 for 2021.
The extra yield investors demand to own junk bonds rather than risk-free Treasuries is lower than this time a year ago. That’s a sure sign that bond traders are confident that the outlook for corporate America is bright.
