Private Investors Drive US Debt Volatility
Update: 2025-12-27
Description
Over the past decade, foreign governments have significantly reduced their holdings of US debt, while private investors, particularly hedge funds, have increased their stakes. This shift has made the financial system more vulnerable to market fluctuations, as private investors prioritize higher returns. The change has also impacted the role of Treasuries as a safe haven during crises. With the US debt surpassing $38 trillion and Social Securitys trust fund nearing depletion, theres growing pressure to control the debt before volatility escalates.
