China & Potential Impact of Selling U.S. Treasuries

What would happened to interest rates and the economy if China started selling the U.S. Treasures? We speak with William Adams, a senior economist at PNC Financial Services Group.

no country in their right mind would want to keep too many US treasuries if it could be confiscated as in the case of Russia

[wjdonner]

The US debt is larger than its entire economy. It`s GDP showed the biggest drop in its entire history and the US economy continues to grow? The optimism expressed by the commentator is just amazing crap !!!

The Fed will need to print more $US dollars to buy the treasuries which will speed up the downward spiral the $US dollar is already in. And that is why William Adams stuttered and crapped his pants with that question.

Problèm is after the confiscation of russia central bank assets, the insurance value of us bonds has been reduced to zero

[johnchow]

China had already started selling the bonds several years ago to finance the Road & Belt initiative.

[jasondong]

China already sold some lol … these guys are too smart .. these professionals are too smart for us

[johnnyhshify]

Nothing is risk free, ever. Including US bonds especially when national debt exceeded $22 trillion.

[JenHo-]

Even the Russians, the UAE and Saudis are selling.

[moneymaker]

Tell my why fed buying treasuries won’t make inflation go up

[svedka]

This is just the beginning. Saudi is selling too

[jasonbrittain]

IN China the derivative market is regulated, so their banks can not collapse like the US banks did ni the GFC

[jfausset]

Don’t worry, rich people. The Fed will save you again. Oh, no one wants new US debt? People can buy oil without dollars? Dollars are worth less? No panic.

[wk]

No worries, the FED can just print more money and buy

[singaanom]

Concequences of Trump policy now eat that.

[srao]

China doesn’t have to sell the bonds.. they can indirectly control all of the corporate including black rock 😂

[bradfordsaunders]

Japan not China is the largest holder of US debt

[loraroark]

China has not paid on their debt owed to the US...we have paid on our debt to them. Last I checked we owed each other roughly 1.2 +/- each

[jayg]

Japan holds the most followed be China. So it’s misleading to say China is the biggest buyer

[princeliem]

too many lies on economic news by western.. now China dumping it.. 😅
