Denmark To Sell Off US Treasury Bond

Is Denmark starting a trend?

It's only 100 million dollars, but the statement Denmark made was the US is not a good investment.

Will other countries cash in their US bonds?

Keep an eye on the bond market, it is going down along with the DOW. The only thing going up is the tangible investment of gold.

The dollar also dropped, which is Krasnov's goal, to crash the dollar.

Equivalent to if California’s PERS divested from a particular fund.

Increased yield means the bond itself is worth less, and the US must raise the interest it pays to entice investors to buy them. That in turn triggers inflation, which in turn can trigger interest hikes at the Fed and a devaluation of the dollar (the dollar dropped yesterday as well).

That’s why TACO Don took the stage at Davos and backpedaled on using force to seize Greenland- he still covets Greenland, but he fears losing the midterms and his wealth more.
