International government bond yields & interest rates.

Nowadays everybody's talking about their country's financial health. Due to the financial crisis many countries have already died, but unfortunately there's no money left for a proper funeral. By looking at the effective yield of a nation's government bonds, one can measure the county's financial health status. The lower the corresponding interest rate, the more people have faith in that country's power to repay their debts. Central banks may try to intervene and buy or dump international bonds, however in the long run such price manipulation won't last.
