Louis Sangan, Global Capital Markets, Senior Associate at Validus Risk Management, says the U.S. market has a potentially destabilising reliance on foreign demand to finance its debt. He says significant holdings by foreign governments and entities of U.S. Treasuries make a large percentage of the outstanding issuance (Japan 14.37% and China 9.94%, as of January 2024). "This dependence introduces a further risk to U.S. interest costs and debt sustainability," warns Sangan. https://lnkd.in/dK2bKSVB "Worrying Signs in U.S. Treasury Markets Amidst Reliance on Chinese and Japanese Demand", PoundSterlingLive
