关税风暴冲击下，美债为何第一个倒下？

Group 1 - The recent auction of $58 billion 3-year U.S. Treasury bonds faced poor demand, with a bid-to-cover ratio dropping to 2.47, the lowest since October 2024 [1] - The awarded yield for the 3-year bonds was 3.784%, significantly higher than the pre-auction yield of 3.760%, indicating a shift in investor sentiment [1] - Direct bidders, including hedge funds and pension funds, received only 6.2% of the bonds, marking one of the lowest participation rates in history, down from 26% the previous month [1] Group 2 - Concerns are rising that foreign investors are withdrawing from the U.S. Treasury market, as indicated by the poor performance of the recent bond auction [2] - Upcoming auctions for $39 billion 10-year and $22 billion 30-year Treasury bonds are expected to be critical in assessing demand for longer-duration securities [2] - Analysts suggest that the recent sell-off in U.S. Treasuries signals a shift away from the U.S. as a safe haven for fixed income, with investors potentially favoring bonds from Europe and Australia [2] Group 3 - Asian investment-grade bonds have shown resilience amid global risk asset sell-offs, outperforming U.S. investment-grade bonds with lower spread widening [2] - Focus on local markets with stable fundamentals is expected to provide investment opportunities in Asian bond issuers, particularly in sectors like TMT, utilities, and non-banking financial companies in India [3]
