Asian shares were mixed and Treasuries continued their slide at the open Thursday following losses in Wall Street on concerns about the US's ballooning deficit. Treasuries fell across the curve Wednesday with long-term debt bearing the brunt as the 30-year yield rose 12 basis points. Tepid demand for a $16 billion sale of 20-year bonds rekindled fears over US government borrowing and budget deficit. That sapped sentiment after a sharp rebound in risk assets over the past month and revealed structural concerns in the bond market. We get some market perspective from Joe Little, Global Chief Strategist at HSBC Asset Management.

Traders have been piling into bets that long-term bond yields would surge on concerns over the US's swelling debt and deficits, with Moody's Ratings on Friday lowering the nation's credit score below the top triple-A level. For many, the message was: Unless America gets its finances in order, the perceived risks of lending to the government will rise. We get reaction from Rebecca Walser, President at Walser Wealth Management.
