According to Bloomberg reports, after a week of wild swings in the US bond market, analysts around the world continue to scrutinize China’s treasury.

Some suggest-without any harsh evidence that Beijing’s sales can help the most increase in production of 30 years after pandemic diseases and consequent fluctuations. Other people discuss whether China can turn to throw US debt in the future as a response to the fastest US prices in the future.

“China is selling treasures in retaliation,” said Okumura, a senior interest rate strategy of SMBC Nico Securities in Tokyo. If this is the case, China is encouraging to show that “it will not interfere with the riot in the global financial market to improve the power of its negotiations against the United States.”

President Donald Trump expanded his global trade war this week and imposed significant prices on global imports, including 145 % tax on all products from China. The move has mobilized a pullback by the Royal Markets and the US Treasury around the world, which has jumped the longest -term production since 2020.

Analysts have cited a number of basic and technical factors for the move, from sale to stagnation, from sale to stagnation. The possibility of playing the role of the Chinese government is at the end of more speculation of the spectrum, which is why its trade activity is a close -minded secret. But strategy experts often refer to the country’s treasury as a potential point to benefit the United States – even if aggressive sales can reduce the cost of its foreign reserves to standing at standing prices for China.

Nevertheless, a team from the Goldman Sex Group Inc. has speculated that selling dollars -based assets can be a retaliation for China, while Yardi research founder, Ed Yardi, said that bond investors have begun to create a riot that began to load Beijing and other world -owned. City Group Inc. Inc. Xianginging Yu and Zeni GG wrote that they had received several client inquiries about whether China would sell its holding.

China is the second largest foreign owner of the US Treasury Bonds, after Japan, and at least, according to official data, has been selling for some time.

According to the US Treasury data in January, the holdings permanently declined since 2011. However, this image has been mixed with the fact that holdings from countries such as Belgium are linked to and have climbed to custodian accounts in China.

And the overall holding of China’s US assets-the choice of the Equity and the Agency bonds, which also supports the US government-has been stable. When Chinese authorities release the April 7 foreign exchange reserve data on May 7, investors will have to wait until May 30 to wait for the reserves to see the actual change in securities. June 18 may find a clear indication from the US government’s portfolio flow data, which means that no one can certainly tell whether some China’s treasury holding has been sold.

Neither the People’s Bank of China nor the foreign exchange state administration immediately responded to a fax that was commented on.

China debate

To ensure, many people believe that China is not batch, and as a reason, it has indicated the change in production measures on various maturity of US treasury curves.

China has been slowing down its purchases in recent years, and it is most likely that its holding period has also been shortened, according to Prashant Newana, which has covered the treasury since a quarter of a century.

“If China is selling, the front end production should be high but they are not, and that’s why we suspect that China is selling,” said TD Securities Strategic. “In the treasury, the self is primarily at the long end of curves, and talks about re -allocating wider investors.” The production of five -year -old US notes has promoted 36 twenty points this week, the highest since March 2022. In comparison, 30 -year -old notes have increased by 48 points, while fluctuations in the long history treasures are even better in other maturity.

Jay Berry, including JP Morgan Chase and CO analysts, calculated that a note in a note earlier this week with a decrease of $ 300 billion in US bonds’ official holding would be pushed forward with approximately 33 33 twenty points earlier this week. China’s latest government holding costs $ 700 billion, which shows that if Beijing was really behind the move, a large part would have to be sold.

Christopher Wood, the global head of the Equity Strategy at Jeffrees LLC, suspects that China’s treasury holdings are being retaliated despite tariff provocations. Its money is at the end of a popular mediation trade between cash treasury and the future.

“Second and worthy explanation is forced to mobilize by the highly beneficial players in the ‘base’ trade, where absolute return investors try to make money,” he said.
