China’s US Treasury Holdings Hit 14-Year Low Amid Trade Tensions
China's holdings of US Treasuries dropped to $756.3 billion in May, the lowest level since March 2009, according to US Treasury data. This marks the third consecutive monthly decline, suggesting a strategic shift rather than temporary portfolio adjustments.
The sustained divestment coincides with escalating trade tensions between Washington and Beijing. Market analysts interpret the move as part of China's broader de-dollarization strategy, potentially creating Ripple effects across global capital markets.
