Deutsche Bank made a statement recently that Europe holds about double what the rest of the world does combined in US bonds and equity.




Europe holds $8 trillion out of 38 trillion… they can move the market

Sure but we were talking about just debt. Also the "rest of the world" is basically just China. I don't think it's a shocker that China isn't interested in betting on US companies.

Nah, China only holds about 600bn these days. Besides European sovereign holdings, most of the rest would be non-sovereign.

Yup, that's my point. They sold off lots of debt and nobody noticed so EU doing the same won't matter.

>and nobody noticed

You didn't notice. Look at the interest rate chart[1]
