Foreign holdings of US Treasuries fall in December

[hfe_template id='11223'] [ad_1]
Foreign holdings of U.S. Treasuries fell in December as the two largest foreign holders of the government debt, Japan and China, both cut their portfolios, data from the Treasury Department showed on Tuesday.

Holdings of U.S. Treasuries fell to $8.513 trillion in December from $8.633 trillion in November. Holdings had reached $8.679 trillion in September.


Japan's Treasuries holdings fell to $1.060 trillion from $1.087 trillion the previous month. Japan remains the largest foreign holder of U.S. Treasury securities. China, which is No. 2, cut its holdings to $759 billion from $768.6 billion in November.

Treasury yields surged in December on expectations of higher growth and a possible inflation resurgence as traders gauged the likely impact of tariffs and immigration reforms by the Donald Trump administration, following Trump's victory in the November presidential election.


Federal Reserve policymakers also said that they see fewer interest rate cuts in 2025 at the U.S. central bank's December meeting, citing inflation concerns.

India VIX jumps 100% in one month. Could fear levels take Nifty further down?

Image
[hfe_template id='11223'] [ad_1] Volatility in Indian equity markets has surged sharply over the past month, with the India VIX nearly doubling as geopolitical tensions and global uncertainty triggered aggressive selling in equities. India VIX, often referred to as the market’s fear gauge, has jumped close to 100% over the past month, reflecting growing nervousness among investors. The spike has coincided with a sharp correction in the broader market, with the Nifty 50 declining about 8% during the same period. The escalation of tensions involving the United States, Israel and Iran has intensified market anxiety in recent days, pushing crude oil prices sharply higher and triggering a global risk-off sentiment. However, analysts note that volatility had already been building even before the conflict escalated, reflecting broader concerns around global growth, foreign capital outflows and stretched valuations in equities. The heightened uncertainty translated into a sharp ...

Can Sensex, Nifty snap 2-day fall on Monday? 7 factors that could decide market mood this week

Image
[hfe_template id='11223'] [ad_1] Benchmark indices Sensex and Nifty ended the week on a bearish note, closing over a percent lower each as a deepening selloff in IT stocks rattled investor sentiment amid mounting fears of AI-led disruption. Further, stronger-than-expected jobs data for January dampened hopes of a US Fed interest rate cut. Here are 7 factors that could decide market action in the coming week: 1.) Infosys, Wipro ADRs rebound - After a brutal two-day selloff that saw Infosys and Wipro ADRs plunge as much as 14.5%, Friday’s session brought a much-needed breather. Bargain hunting kicked in at lower levels, sparking a sharp rebound as Infosys climbed 3% while Wipro gained 4%—helping both stocks close the week on a far stronger note. International brokerage firm JP Morgan has a message for panic-stricken investors: IT services firms are the indispensable "plumbers of the tech world" and their dividend yields have now hit levels last seen only during ...
