A clear sale in the bond markets of the US government and the dollar has raised fears of the growing spinoff of President Trump’s radical prices, which raises questions about what is generally considered to be the safest corner for investors during troubles.
The yields on the 10 -year treasure bills – the reference for a wide variety of debts – whipped on Wednesday after Mr. Trump interrupted most of the samples he had threatened the previous week and increased the prices billed on Chinese goods after this country has retaliated.
The 10 -year obligation was negotiated at 4.37%, slightly lower than that earlier during the day but still much higher than recent levels. Barely a few days ago, he had exchanged less than 4%. The yields on the 30 -year obligation reversed a previous increase which had exceeded it by 5%. It is now 4.76%.
In the middle of the tumult, other markets considered alternative shelters to the United States won. The yields on the obligations of the German government, which serve as a reference for the euro zone, fell on Wednesday, indicating a high demand. Gold prices have also increased.
Volatility centered on the United States occurs in the heels of investors fleeing risky assets worldwide in what some feared parallel to an episode known as “Dash for Cash” during the pandemic, when the treasure market broke down. Recent measures have changed a long -term relationship in which the US government’s bond market has served as a security port during stress.
Wednesday’s anxiety was the fact that the US dollar, which is the dominant currency of the world and was to be largely strengthened when Mr. Trump’s prices entered into force, had rather weakened. He shaved some of these losses after the administration announces.
