Likewise, 30 -year -old Treasury bond income Earned the highest position from November 2022 Over the past Wednesday?? Since then the income has decreased, yet they remain advanced.
According to LSEG data, the income increased by about 50 base points in the five days from April 11 to April 11.
Due to the fear of recession, the unstable remaining, the sale of the market in Trezuris was unusual as investors usually go to American debt safety during uncertainty.
The unusual outflow asks the question: who’s selling – and why?

“I think China is really a weapon of Treasury Holding,” said Chain Zoo, the main global strategy of Alpine Macro.
He said, “They sell American tres and convert income to the euro or German rebellion. They are really consistent with what has happened in the last few weeks,” he added. German Last week, his 10 -year income was shifted in the long -term trazeries.
However, others have suggested that the sale of treesheris will bite China because it will hurt the United States
Michael Petis said that fast sales will reduce the value of the rest of the bonds, that is, China will lose its investment, Michael Petis said. Carnegie’s senior colleague in Beijing??
Senior Research of Paperson Michael Brown said, “The sale of treasury holding China will effectively shoot in its own feet.” If China sells Trezuris, the capital must move back to Beijing and will be appreciated in the yuan.
Brown told CNBC that it would be “accurate opposite” about what Beijing is going for, especially when the government is expecting to hit the domestic economy and rates, ”Brown told the CNBC.
Japan’s life insurance companies

He said, “The Japanese government has to say that everything is good that we will not sell American trends, but they do not own the Japanese government. This is a Nippon life,” he added.
If these insurers are worried about flip-flopping and wants to reduce exposure, “the government cannot do much.”
The combination of European and Japanese pension accounts can also encourage this sale to buy European fixed income, said Prashant Neuna, Asia-Pacific Macro Strategist of TD Securities.
Hedge funds and ‘bond vigilance’
As the bond sales of the bond increases, the hedge funds could be forced to uncover the bond-base trade, which has increased the fuel in sales, said Neunaha. When brokers call margin, the funds may be forced to uncover their positions by selling treason bonds to collect cash.

“Bonds hit again,” VerseThe sign of misleading Trump’s policies is the recent market movement.
Without opening the positions of the hedge funds, the bond vigilance needs to make sure that Trump wants to do whatever it wants to do with his financial discipline that it will probably be made in the sale of UST holding.
Monthly Treasury Data comes with a distance and the most recent statistics released in March are from January. April’s data will be released Only in June?? Considering the ratio of sales and the lack of clear and immediate statistics, it is not easy to drive certain parties and to separate the degree, the market observers told the CNBC.
But drawing all the estimates is the understanding of reducing confidence in US policies.
The “obscure and unstable nature” of the “obscure and unstable nature” of policy is significant as a safe shelter as a safe shelter, said Brune of Pepperstone.
American Policy flip-flop In terms of rates Reduced confidence on the US property This has made the US dollar weakened, which will usually be the beneficiary of investors looking for safe shelter property.
“If the question of market trust with the US administration has worsened, this can be a catalyst for sale on the next foot,” said Nuhnah.
