[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Trump hasn't ended tariffs on either, and you can't just call in a bond.[/quote] No. But if Japan and China dumped the US treasuries they hold (about 1.8 trillion) on the open market, the US economy would suffer greatly for a long time.[/quote] US debt stands at 36+ Trillion. A supply shock like that only happens if Japan and China are willing to take a bath on the sale. The rates don't increase unless the price of bonds goes down. And drop in bond prices world probably get digested in weeks of not days. So Japan and China world have to be willing to suffer a loss of billions of dollars to create a temporary blip in us bond prices. As long as the US dollar is the reserve currency, there is an almost infinite demand for us treasuries. [/quote]
