🇨🇳🇺🇸 China cuts US Treasury holdings to an 18-year low
• China has been reducing its holdings for over a decade, down from around $1.3 trillion in the early 2010s to $618 billion today.
• The decline accelerated after 2022 as China became more concerned about relying too heavily on US assets.
• Foreign governments are buying fewer US Treasuries, while hedge funds and other investors are buying more.
• Weaker foreign demand is helping push Treasury yields higher, with the 30-year yield recently hitting a nearly 20-year high.
• Higher yields mean the US government has to pay more to borrow money.
