Is China Abandoning U.S. Treasuries? - 02/19/26


Listen Later

China's holdings of U.S. Treasuries have fallen to their lowest level since 2008. That's not a headline — that's a structural shift.

In today's episode, we break down what it means when one of America's largest foreign creditors reduces exposure to U.S. government debt. Is this geopolitical strategy? Currency management? Diversification? Or a warning sign for the U.S. dollar and bond market?

We'll explore:

  • Why China is cutting back on U.S. Treasury holdings
  • How this impacts the bond market and interest rates
  • What it means for the U.S. dollar (DXY)
  • Who is stepping in to buy U.S. debt?
  • Whether this signals a long-term shift in global capital flows
  • The implications for stocks, gold, and global markets

When foreign demand for Treasuries shifts, the ripple effects can be massive. If you trade bonds, equities, commodities, or currencies — this is required listening.

Listen now and understand what's happening beneath the surface of global finance.
