海外债券市场观察系列四:量化美债大跌背后的卖出力量:全球央行减持,对冲基金平仓
1. Report Industry Investment Rating No relevant content provided. 2. Core Viewpoints - The current market has witnessed significant selling of US Treasuries, mainly by global central banks and hedge funds. China and Japan have been reducing their US Treasury holdings, while the UK has been increasing its holdings. The short - term sharp decline in US Treasuries is mainly due to the liquidation and selling by basis - trading related institutions. Hedge fund liquidation can trigger a spiral decline. [3][7] - In 2025, the US has a large debt repayment pressure in the second quarter. The total unpaid debt in 2025 has increased by 4.68% ($1.61 trillion) compared to 2024, with about $6 trillion of debt maturing from April to June, increasing debt risks. [4][21] - In the short term, US Treasury yields may remain high, and liquidity risks need to be vigilant. In the long term, as the impact of tariffs on the economy becomes more apparent, the US economy faces a risk of recession, and with the Fed's interest - rate cut cycle, US Treasuries are expected to strengthen. The 10Y US Treasury yield is expected to fluctuate between 4% - 5% in the short term and may decline to below 4% in the long term. [4][31] 3. Summary by Directory 3.1 Recent Sellers of US Treasuries - In the past week (April 4 - 11), US Treasuries fell significantly, and yields climbed. The 10Y US Treasury yield rose by a maximum of 47bp to 4.48% within the week, while the 2Y/1Y yields rose by a maximum of 28/18bp. [8] - Among the major US Treasury - holding countries, China and Japan have been reducing their holdings since 2018 and 2021 respectively. In 2024, China and Japan reduced their holdings by $572.9 billion and $554.4 billion respectively. The UK has been increasing its holdings since 2016 and is about to overtake China as the second - largest holder. In 2024, the UK increased its holdings by $342.0 billion. Some financial institutions, such as Japan's Norinchukin Financial Group, sold US Treasuries due to liquidity problems. [9] - The short - term sharp decline in US Treasuries is mainly due to the liquidation and selling by basis - trading related institutions. Hedge funds hold US Treasury spot in basis trading. When US Treasury yields rise sharply in the short term, losses in spot positions can trigger margin calls, leading to further selling of US Treasuries and a spiral decline. [3][14] 3.2 Another Risk Point of US Treasuries - In 2025, the total unpaid debt in the US has increased by 4.68% ($1.61 trillion) compared to 2024. As of April 3, 2025, the total national debt was $36.22 trillion, with about $6 trillion maturing from April to June. The average interest rate on US debt has risen significantly since 2021, increasing the proportion of debt - repayment expenditures. [4][21] - The US Treasury term structure is mainly mid - term notes (2 - 10 years). As of March 2025, mid - term notes accounted for 51.22% ($14.81 trillion) of the total outstanding public debt. [27] 3.3 US Treasury Outlook - In the short term, US Treasury yields may remain high because US hedge funds hold a large number of long positions in basis trading, and there is a negative feedback mechanism between basis trading and rising US Treasury yields. Short - term liquidity risks need to be vigilant, as high yields for a long time may lead to extreme situations such as an increase in loan default rates, a collapse of the high - yield bond market, and a crisis among small and medium - sized banks. [4][31] - In the long term, as the impact of tariffs on the economy becomes more obvious, global economic activities and trade slow down, and the US economy faces a risk of recession. Coupled with the Fed's interest - rate cut cycle, US Treasuries are expected to strengthen. The 10Y US Treasury yield is expected to fluctuate between 4% - 5% in the short term and may decline to below 4% in the long term. [4][31]
