Core Viewpoint - The article discusses the shift in investment strategies among major financial institutions, led by DoubleLine Capital, towards short-term bonds due to concerns over the expanding U.S. federal budget deficit and debt burden, while long-term U.S. Treasury bonds are being avoided due to rising yield risks [1][2][5].

Group 2: Market Trends - The 30-year U.S. Treasury bond has shown particularly weak performance this year, with yields rising while shorter-term bonds (2-year, 5-year, and 10-year) have seen declining yields [2]. - The yield on the 30-year bond reached 5.15%, close to its highest point since 2007, with a yield spread between the 30-year and 5-year bonds exceeding 1 percentage point for the first time since 2021 [9]. - Recent auction results indicate a preference for shorter-term bonds, with 2-year, 5-year, and 7-year bonds performing well, while the 30-year bond auction slightly underperformed expectations [13]. Group 3: Government Debt Issuance - Discussions about potentially reducing or pausing the issuance of 30-year bonds have emerged, which is unusual given the Treasury's efforts to maintain a stable debt issuance plan [5][6]. - The U.S. Treasury has committed to maintaining its auction scale, including long-term bonds, despite market pressures [7]. - The upcoming auction of 30-year bonds on June 12 is viewed as a critical test for market demand [7]. Group 4: Economic Concerns - Concerns over inflation due to tariff policies and the potential for increased government borrowing to cover deficits have contributed to the negative sentiment surrounding long-term bonds [8]. - The Congressional Budget Office projects that by 2035, the U.S. debt-to-GDP ratio could rise to 118%, surpassing historical highs, which raises further concerns about long-term bond investments [13].

在货币市场方面，美元预计将持续走弱。受收益率差异、外国投资者对美国资产对冲比率变化以及美国 政策不确定性等因素影响，美元面临下行压力。 智通财经APP获悉，摩根士丹利近日发布全球宏观策略研究报告，围绕美国资产投资、货币走势、各类 投资策略及宏观经济展望展开分析。从美国占全球GDP、市场资本化、企业盈利份额等指标来看，美国 股票在全球投资组合中的合理配置权重约为56-65%。 研究指出，外国投资者对美国资产是否"超配"不能简单判断，需借助合适基准分析，不能仅依据价格走 势。常用基准如MSCIWorld、MSCIACW等，但定义合适权重存在挑战，因投资者管理考虑因素多样， 且美国资产表现会影响基准权重。 部分国家投资者持有美国股票的比例高于这一范围，但总体而言，他们对海外资产的敞口较低，这就是 "本土偏好"。"本土偏好"现象显著影响了对"超配美国"程度的评估。例如，加拿大等国家的投资者整体 外国股票投资占比低，即便对美国股票有一定倾斜，其绝对投资规模可能仍在合理范围内。尽管"本土 偏好"使分析复杂化，但从边际流动角度看，投资结论的大方向并未改变。 货币外汇策略中，该行指出如做多欧元兑美元等，风险在于欧洲央行货币政 ...
