IS the world turning upside down or is it real? Early this month, Denmark’s third largest bank, Jyske Bank, set the lending rate for mortgages at an unbelievable interest rate of -0.5%.

Yes, no typo here. It is NEGATIVE 0.5%. Another bank in Denmark also set a new precedent. Nordea Bank, is now giving 30-year home financing at 0.5% while 20-year loan at zero rate. That’s right, ZERO.
