English term or phrase: very long-end
"Higher yields at the very long-end of the cash market reflect optimism that the US economy will have entered a much stronger phase of growth by that stage."

Am äußersten langen Ende? Am oberen/obersten Ende des Geldmarktes? Eigentlich klar, aber wozu noch "very"?

Explanation:
What you need to take into account here is that the US yield curve reaches parts other capital markets cannot... *g*

Most European markets (with the exception of the UK Gilt market) extend to the 10-year maturity range - attempts to establish a 30-year segment in the German capital market back in 1994 were aborted after a couple of issues.

In contrast, the US Treasury market is liquid out to 30 years - what European markets would consider the "long end" is somewhere in between for the US market - not really medium-term (that would be the 2-to-5-year segment), but not *really* long-term.

Since there is no comparable segment in the German market, you don't really get the concept across using "extralang" (which is what Eurex tried to do with the BUXL - BUnd eXtra Long - Future); for this reason, I would explicitly refer to the 30-year segment.

You may want to try and cross-check this against your context.
