Someone has been quietly buying the world's longest debt for the last 50 years. Not anymore. Pension funds were legally required to show up, completely unbothered by price. The perfect buyer. They were not making investment decisions. They were covering a promise made to a retired employee, and the bond was simply the thing shaped like that promise. But the buyer that kept long-term borrowing cheap for 50 years is slowly disappearing.
