Speaker 2: Look at markets now. Nathan Bloomberg has learned that Chinese
Speaker 2: regulators have advised financial institutions to reign in their holdings
Speaker 2: of US treasury, citing concerns over concentration risks and market volatility.
Speaker 2: The guidance, which was communicated verbally to some of the
Speaker 2: biggest Chinese banks in recent weeks, reflects growing weariness among
Speaker 2: officials that large holdings of US government debt may expose
Speaker 2: banks two sharp swings. Bloomberg's Mark Crinfield covers Asian markets
Speaker 2: for Bloomberg News.
Speaker 8: The Chinese authorities are warning their banks at home. If
Speaker 8: you have got treasury holdings at the moment, or US
Speaker 8: bonds in general, prepare for a lot more of a
Speaker 8: relativity possible step and you might not be the only ones.
Speaker 8: Don't be the last one out of the gate, because
Speaker 8: once the bolla and bond start to move, it could
Speaker 8: be pretty big. In these situations where treasuries haven't moved
Speaker 8: a great deal over the past few weeks, all the
Speaker 8: tendacy could increase very quickly. Nobody wants to be the
Speaker 8: last person through the exit door.
Speaker 2: Bloomer's Mark Cranfield says the move was framed around a
Speaker 2: diversifying market risk rather than anything to do with geopolitical
Speaker 2: maneuvering or a fundamental loss of confidence in US credit

Speaker 10: the UK leader's job is on a knife edge. It
Speaker 10: wasn't supposed to be this way, but a series of

Speaker 4: show good.
Speaker 2: Son.

Speaker 13: It doesn't surprise me that he wouldn't take responsibility, and
Speaker 13: the fact that he would not very quickly take responsibility

Speaker 13: joint resolution should condemn this.

Speaker 2: after this.
Speaker 1: Coast to coast on Bloomberg Radio, nationwide on Sirius XM,
Speaker 1: and around the world on Bloomberg dot Com and the
Speaker 1: Bloomberg Business opp This is Bloomberg Daybreak.
Speaker 3: Good Morning, Van Hager, Treasury yields are rising across the
Speaker 3: curve this morning, with sources telling Bloomberg News the Chinese
Speaker 3: regulators are urging the country's banks to limit their exposure
Speaker 3: to US government debt. People familiar are saying they're citing
Speaker 3: concerns over concentration risks and market volatility. For more, We're
Speaker 3: joined by Sylvia west All, Bloomberg News Managing director for
Speaker 3: FX and Race. She's in our London newsroom this morning. Sylvia,
Speaker 3: good morning. How significant could this Chinese warning be for
Speaker 3: US treasuries?
Speaker 15: I think the timing is quite interesting. I mean, why,
Speaker 15: you know, they did frame this around diversifying risk, but
Speaker 15: there has been this sort of recent global trend that's
Speaker 15: seen India and Brazil lower their exposure to treasuries and
Speaker 15: growing doubts kind of about the appeal of US assets.
Speaker 15: You've had Trump's threats over Greenland, You've had just general
Speaker 15: on needs there, and that's spurred the hunt for alternative
Speaker 15: assets such as gold. Although overall, I think, you know,
Speaker 15: we have to look at the bigger picture here and overseas.
Speaker 15: Holdings of treasuries actually in November to the highest level
Speaker 15: on record. That's the most recent data we have so
Speaker 15: we have countries like Norway, Canada, and Saudi Arabia offsetting
Speaker 15: some of the countries, including China, that have have sort
Speaker 15: of let let let treasuries go. And overall last year
Speaker 15: as well, treasuries had their best returns for a long time,
Speaker 15: and the particularly well compared to other peers. So it
Speaker 15: was actually quite a good time to hold treasuries last year,
Speaker 15: whether you were you know, domestic or foreign investor. So
Speaker 15: there's a there's a sort of broader picture here to tell,
Speaker 15: but definitely in terms of timing, in terms of what
Speaker 15: it says symbolically, it's an important shift.
Speaker 3: And part of this timing is Treasury Secretary Scott bess
Speaker 3: And on Fox News yesterday saying that Chinese traders could
Speaker 3: be part of the reason why we saw the volatility
Speaker 3: in gold last week. Does this point to a new
Speaker 3: tension point between the US and China.
Speaker 15: It's definitely been something whenever the US has had tensions
Speaker 15: with countries around the world that treasuries have come up,
Speaker 15: because of course, so much of you know, the huge
Speaker 15: amounts of US that are held overseas. I think I
Speaker 15: guess the question mark is, you know what kind of
Speaker 15: comes into the FED and what his outlook is. I
Speaker 15: do think we're probably going to see more of this
Speaker 15: back and forth going forward if you kind of look
Speaker 15: at what the sort of signals that are being sent
Speaker 15: and the timing of it as well, given the sort
Speaker 15: of question marks over over US assets coming. So, I
Speaker 15: think we're in for a period of volatility in different countries,
Speaker 15: and different people might blame one or the other, but
Speaker 15: I think what's certain is that you know, in this
Speaker 15: time of volatility, people might try and hold their positions
Speaker 15: and see where things where things go. That's definitely what
Speaker 15: we saw towards the end of the year with treasuries.
Speaker 15: Many of the big investment houses held firm on their
Speaker 15: calls and held onto their what they were doing because
Speaker 15: there was so much uncertainty out there.
