#treasuries — Public Fediverse posts

So if the market is still betting against the Yen while carry-trader seek a safe haven in Switzerland, who has really an interest to weaken the Dollar even more?

Or are these the first signs of an creeping panic? Even Gold seems to recover.

Warsh and Bessent will have interesting conversations within the next week.

The U.S.-Israeli war with Iran has fractured the petrodollar loop at both ends, with oil-importing nations selling Treasuries to limit depreciation and Gulf producers unable to export oil. https://www.japantimes.co.jp/commentary/2026/04/13/world/iran-war-breaks-the-petrodollar/?utm_medium=Social&utm_source=mastodon #commentary #worldnews #iran #us #oil #treasuries #usdollar #trade #energy

China is quietly laying the financial plumbing to weaken the dollar's dominance by expanding the interest-bearing e-CNY at home and pushing blockchain-based cross-border payment systems abroad. https://www.japantimes.co.jp/commentary/2026/03/29/world/king-dollar-asian-mutiny/?utm_medium=Social&utm_source=mastodon #commentary #worldnews #forex #currencies #dollar #yuan #ecny #mbridge #china #us #tariffs #sanctions #treasuries

I feel like the AI bubble won't pop until something pricks it. I think one of these might be that pin:

1. Japan's debt may force them to sell US treasures. They have $1 trillion.
2. EU retaliation - they could sell their treasuries because of the regime's imperialism.
3. The US regime gains control of the Fed. This crashes the entire economy including AI.

Jamie Dimon says investors are actually being way too chill about tariffs

The Federal Reserve had been gradually unloading Treasuries since mid-2022. Since Trump's foray into market chaos/universal tariffs, they've substantially slowed the unloading of Treasuries.

2 points:

1) Had they continued pace with dumping Treasuries, they would have contributed to the concern that US bonds were no longer safe.
2) Had they re-started purchases of US bonds, no one would have noticed the selloff. This sure looks like evidence in support of MMT.

The U.S. dollar’s role as the de facto global reserve currency is looking increasingly uncertain

The combination of interest rates soaring amid a slump and the currency plunging despite rising interest rates isn’t what we normally expect for advanced countries, let alone the owner of the world’s leading reserve currency. It is, however, what we often see in emerging-market economies. That is, investors have started treating the United States like a third-world economy.

The premium investors demand to hold #US Treasuries rather than #German #Bunds - now apparently one of the safe havens of choice - has exploded.

It's heading for its biggest weekly increase since the 1990s, which reflects the extent to which investors are dumping #Treasuries.

The dollar is at the heart of it &, with #markets, it's always what's beneath the surface that can cause the most damage.

#Trump #tariffs #economy #inflation #recession #geopolitics #RevengePolitics

The main casualty in all this is the #US #dollar.

For 80 years, it's been the mainstay of the #financial system & the ultimate of safe havens, along w/ #Treasuries.

But w/investors now doubting the reliability of the #UnitedStates as a #trading partner & fears creeping in about the stability of the #bond market, the dollar is bearing the brunt.

Analysts & investors have pointed to this week's sharp selloff in #Treasuries & weakness in the #dollar as a sign of faltering confidence in the world's biggest #economy.

"There's clearly an exodus from #US assets. A falling currency & bond market is never a good sign," said Kyle Rodda, senior financial #markets analyst at Capital.com. "This goes beyond pricing in a #growth slowdown & #trade uncertainty."

#ETTTTS #trump #recession

Global #stocks fell & the #dollar sank further on Friday, while a manic #bonds selloff took hold in a brutal end to the week of tit-for-tat worldwide #tariffs that have fed fears of a deep #recession & shaken investor confidence in #US assets.

The selloff in US #Treasuries picked up pace during Asian hours, with the 10-year note yield rising to 4.45%, gaining about 45 basis points in the week, the biggest increase since 2001, LSEG data showed.

China could consider dumping its US #Treasuries as a retaliatory measure to Trump's trade war — a financial nuclear winter

https://www.scmp.com/economy/china-economy/article/3305989/everythings-table-are-us-and-china-edging-toward-financial-war?module=top_story&pgtype=homepage

US #Treasuries [bills, notes, #bonds & TIPS] are starting to sell off again too. The yield on 10-year Treasuries just climbed to 4.37%, the highest since February. Concerns about a rout in #US assets, including Treasuries, have gripped #markets these past few days. These assets are normally considered safe havens that investors turn to in times of turmoil.

@GhostOnTheHalfShell the explanation i've settled on for myself about the various japanese carry trades is pretty simple:

1. ever since the 1989 crash Bank of Japan has loaned out money at insanely low rates (0% or even negative sometimes IIRC)

2. people like to borrow money from bank of japan and invest it in other stuff (like US treasuries) and pick up a small rate of return (e.g. if a japanese bank is charging 0.5% and treasuries pay 2% you can make 1.5% "for free")

3. because the rate of return is low people juice their returns by levering the fuck up and borrowing $50 for every $1 they're actually putting in

4. this amount of leverage means that even small movements in the value of the asset (e.g. US treasuries) blows people up (e.g. at 50x leverage a 2% move is death)

the specifics of each carry trade are hard to follow but BOJ has been regarded as a ticking time bomb for a long time now
