UPDATE 3-Yields across entire German bond market dip below zero for first time

LONDON, Aug 2 (Reuters) - Yields across the entire German government bond market dipped into negative territory on Friday for the first time ever, as investors scrambled to buy less risky assets after an escalation in the U.S.-China trade conflict. 

Germany’s 30-year bond yield briefly dropped more than eight basis points to -0.006%, its first fall below zero, and was last at 0.015%. It had been as high as 0.89% as recently as January. 

The yield on the benchmark German 10-year note marked new ground with a fall below -0.50 bps.
