110亿美元资金大出逃！投资者为何集体“抛弃”长期美债？

Group 1 - Investors are fleeing U.S. long-term bond funds at the fastest rate since the COVID-19 pandemic began five years ago, with nearly $11 billion in net outflows in the second quarter, marking a stark contrast to the previous 12 quarters' average inflow of $20 billion [1] - The outflow reflects deep anxiety regarding the U.S. fiscal path, as the proposed tax reform is expected to add trillions to the national debt over the next decade, leading to a significant increase in bond issuance [1][2] - The current environment is characterized by high volatility and inflation above the Federal Reserve's 2% target, causing panic in the long end of the yield curve and general unease among investors [2] Group 2 - Long-term bonds are particularly sensitive to inflation, as rising prices erode the real value of fixed interest payments, leading to a decline in long-term U.S. Treasury prices by approximately 1% this quarter [2] - In contrast, over $39 billion flowed into short-term U.S. Treasury funds this quarter, as these funds offer attractive yields amid the Federal Reserve's high short-term interest rates [2] - Investors may prefer to diversify their bond holdings globally, but the U.S. Treasury market is not expected to lose its status as a core asset in global fixed income portfolios [3]
