central mich | China has a lot of surplus dollars and US Treasuries is about the only market to absorb the massive dollar surplus that China has. So in a way they do not have a choice. But they have switched their focus away from the Treasury market to metals and natural resources that they can use in the future. I think the are down to about $600B and Japan doing the same. Not sure about the UK. The yuan is still weak to the dollar so that helps China. So far the US has been successful in selling Treasuries at 3-5 % yield and geting away with it. I know of no one that personally invests in US Treasuries ( not a penny from me) but as I mentioned before I had to invest about $3 B (in todays dollars) and I parked those funds in Treasuries. Where else?
But China , Japan selling off US debt directly impacts the US in a negative fashion as it raises interest costs in the US all across the board.
I did roll about 7-8 % of the total every quarter to try for a better average.
So until the US dollar fades as the reserve currency the US will continue to make it work to their favor. I do think BRICS stands a chance of working, but a long way to go. Time will tell.
Massive debt is so much fun. I think I will cut loose with my CC.
