The 100 Year Mexican Half-Pipe

United Mexican States on Tuesday issued a 100yr bond maturing in Oct 2110. The bond priced at $94.28 to yield 6.1%, with a 235bp spread to 30yr US Treasury. In today’s trading, the price increased $5 to above $99.

Seriously?

This shows the impact of global QE, massive inflows into taxable bond funds and low rates - the reach for yield!  Bond investing will soon be a sport in the X games.
