@Barchart Owning the most sounds like power until you try to use it. Japan cannot sell 1.2 trillion without crushing the price of what it still holds. Size stops being an advantage the moment you need the exit.
@Barchart The question of this week: Will Japan participate in this weeks' big Treasury auction after pledging them as collateral for that currency bailout that didn't go well. Then will they ever buy back those Treasuries at the end of the repo period?
@Barchart 60 percent of Japan’s holdings are in individuals names and not the government.
@Barchart Japan got the #1 spot in yen fire power according to that list x.com/CDorsey62/status/2087388…
@Barchart US and Japan economy are one intricate problem. It´s not fixable, only manageable.
@Barchart oh wow, they have 4% of usa debt... so worried... ahahhaha clown barchart
@Barchart Cayman Islands is 5th ahead of all those bigger countries? Kinda sletchy. Other? Is that mostly The Fed?
@Barchart The presence of Belgium & UK overstates their true economic ownership of USTs as it predominantly reflects its function of a custodian hub. (Actually the same goes for Lux and Cayman)
@Barchart China is surprising to some but they are smart u cant cut ties with your enemy full speed like Russia-Bait them into thinking u give a damn about them even if America catches on it doesnt matter because the American economy is at the mercy of countries holding there treasuries
