So, all of these private citizens and banks and insurance companies that own these bonds are going to suddenly decide to collectively dump them?
Maybe they will all just give them to the EU governments to dump. ***
Like I said not all 40 trillion held by outside people. Foriegn governments do own enough to make it painfull. I could not see it happening and at a last resort only.
By doing so ( dumping treasuries) would throw a wrench in world economics.
Here is from google
European countries hold a significant amount of U.S. Treasury bonds, with estimates placing their total U.S. asset holdings (including stocks) around $8 trillion, with roughly $3.3 trillion in Treasuries by NATO members alone, making Europe a primary creditor to the U.S., holding nearly twice as much as other major holders like Japan and China combined. This large ownership gives Europe significant financial leverage, though selling off these holdings would also harm European financial institutions and economies. |
