China dumping U.S. Treasurys?

Author: smmcclure

Matt Clinch discussed on 8-28-15 on CNBC China’s acceleration in the selling of its dollar-denominated debt reserves.

China is the biggest holder of reserve assets in the world, holding a combination of bonds, currencies and commodities like gold. It held $1,271 billion in U.S. Treasurys at the end of June, according to data from the Treasury Department.

Rabobank argued that Beijing’s selling of Treasurys probably reflected capital flight out of China, which would push the yuan down. This in turn would reflect concern over the Chinese economy which would “very probably result in falling inflation expectations globally.”

BACKGROUND:

Building on over a decade of leadership in promoting the use of HPC for competitive advantage, the Council spearheaded the formation of NDEMC. The consortium began as a partnership of industry, federal agencies, state governments and solution partners (e.g. university computing centers). NDEMC launched in 2011 and successfully helped small to medium-sized American manufacturing enterprises (SMEs) take advantage of MS&A technologies that were beyond their resources or expertise. NDEMC projects with twenty SMEs increased sales collectively by more than $20 million per year with half of those sales in exports. The SMEs created 160 new jobs in 2012 and developed three new products.
