Core Viewpoint - The recent volatility in the US Treasury market reflects a declining trust in dollar-denominated assets, which may lead to increased pricing pressure in the global sovereign debt market and a shift of funds towards alternative assets like gold and Chinese or European bonds [1][4]. Group 1: US Treasury Market Volatility - In April, the US Treasury market experienced significant volatility, with rising yields linked to investor sell-offs and high leverage strategies exacerbating market fluctuations [2][3]. - The fundamental cause of the volatility is the accumulation of long-term risks in the US, including substantial fiscal expansion post-pandemic and high policy interest rates, which have increased the burden on US finances [3][4]. - The decline in the proportion of stable funds in the Treasury market has amplified market volatility risks, and the recognition of US Treasuries as a safe-haven asset has decreased, contributing to selling pressure [3][4]. Group 2: Global Impact of US Treasury Volatility - The fluctuations in US Treasury yields will increase pricing pressure in the global sovereign debt market and accelerate the diversification of reserve assets among countries [4][5]. - The uncertainty surrounding US trade policies, particularly under the Trump administration, is damaging the asset value of US Treasuries, prompting long-term conservative funds to reduce their holdings in US dollar assets [5][6]. - The volatility in US Treasuries is expected to lead to a challenging performance for global stock markets this year, with potential benefits for China's economic policies and A-share market as the situation clarifies [6][7]. Group 3: Implications for China - The recent rise in US Treasury yields may have a short-term negative impact on the Chinese stock market, but there could be a medium to long-term turnaround for Chinese equities [7]. - The short-term effects of US Treasury yield fluctuations on China's bond market are limited, with expectations of stable performance in the medium to long term [7]. - The weakening of US dollar credit and reduced foreign holdings of US Treasuries may support the renminbi's exchange rate stability and internationalization in the long run [7].
