đš Macro Alert: Pressure Is Building in Global Markets
Major holders are cutting exposure to U.S. Treasuries at levels not seen since past crises:
âą Europe offloaded $150.2B â largest reduction since 2008
âą China reduced holdings by $105.8B â also the biggest since 2008
âą India sold $56.2B â the most since 2013
Why this matters (and why itâs not âjust bondsâ):
U.S. Treasuries sit at the core of the global financial system. When theyâre sold aggressively:
âą Prices fall
âą Yields rise
âą Borrowing costs increase
âą Liquidity tightens
This is how financial stress propagates.
When collateral weakens, markets react in sequence:
1. Bonds reprice first
2. Equities feel the squeeze
3. Crypto absorbs the shock fastest due to leverage and liquidity sensitivity
This isnât fear-mongering â itâs mechanics.
Risk takeaway:
âą Be cautious with leverage
âą Monitor Treasury yields closely
âą Liquidity conditions change before headlines do
Every major storm in markets starts the same way â in rates. âïž
