Europe has started big sales of US Treasury bonds โ a move that mirrors de-dollarization trends seen with BRICS nations ๐๐จ
Major sellers included:
๐น A Danish pension fund โ $100M sold ๐ฉ๐ฐ
๐น Swedenโs AP7 โ $8.8B unloaded ๐ธ๐ช
Thatโs ~$9 BILLION in US debt exiting European portfolios ๐ธ๐
๐ These moves werenโt just about returns โ
Funds cited political concerns:
โ ๏ธ Rule of law issues
โ ๏ธ US political stability
โ ๏ธ Foreign policy tensions under President Trump ๐บ๐ธ
For years, European pension funds treated US Treasuries as โrisk-freeโ assets ๐ก๏ธ๐ต
But this recent selling shows geopolitical pressure now influences investment strategy even among allies ๐๐ญ
This comes amid growing tensions over things like Greenland and NATO disagreements ๐งโ๏ธ
And Europe holds an estimated $1.6 TRILLION in US debt โ so these moves matter ๐ฅ
๐ The big picture?
This divestment points to eroding trust in US debt safety and could weigh on the global role of the US dollar ๐ฑ๐
