European investors own around $8 trillion of U.S. bonds and equities, almost double the holdings of the rest of the world combined, making the region America’s largest lender.
Europe literally owns us. That’s real power, and one they are increasingly willing to use. Mortgage rates were just starting to dip and threatened to give Trump his first real win of his presidency and boop - there they go up again.
I bought my house in 2016 with a 3.5% rate, 30 years fixed--so I look at the current mortgage rates and am horrified and glad I bought when I did. We were thinking to sell this year and move, but with US bond markets weakening and mortgage rates rising, we probably will just rent out our house until mortgage rates come down again.
True but my house is in a good location and makes a good rental and I’m fine to wait it out until rates drop again, if not to the 3’s, at least to the 4s.

We moved 65% of our liquid cash to Switzerland last year and have no regrets. This is just the beginning...

Doesn’t mean that Trump hasn’t spooked the bond markets. The US is rapidly losing its reputation as a safe haven for global assets.

Germany. If you read the financial press, you would see investors are fleeing to the Bundes as the Trump admin actions become more erratic.
You might want to do a basic finance 101 class and learn something about the concept of portfolio diversification before trying to participate on this forum.
I think the PP's point is that you are bashing US investing, implying you have moved to German investing instead. It is only fair to have it pointed out that you diversified into Germany, did not sell US entirely. I would guess you still are a majority US investor.
No. If your read the PP-they ask why someone hasn’t sold ALL their US assets. That’s too stupid to dignify with a response.
The pretext is turn this into the political forum, as is your nasty response. Please keep it out of the money forum. Still waiting on PP to tell us if he fled, as they appear to recommend.
There can't be that much fleeing. There are about Euro 1.4 trillion in German bunds compared to $36 trillion in USTs.
Look at the change year over year, not the values at a single point in time. German bundes are at 3.5% yield now. Quite a bit lower than the US is paying on its debt for obvious reasons.

Japan 30 year hit all time record yield! Central Banks total debt has finally reached an end game. Once the 10 year heads above 5 there is no real resistance until 6.5-7.5. After that 10_15% is the next stop.
Fed does not set rates, bond holders set rates! The decouple of the two will accelerate selling.
