Central Bank Dump Of US Debt Deepens

admin Alternative Media

Central banks are dumping America’s debt at a record pace.
China, Russia and Brazil sold off U. S. Treasury bonds as they tried to soften the blow of the global economic slowdown. They each sold off at least $1 billion in U. S. Treasury bonds in March.
In all, central banks sold a net $17 billion. Sales had hit a record $57 billion in January.
So far this year, the global bank debt dump has reached $123 billion.
It’s the fastest pace for a U. S. debt selloff by global central banks since at least 1978, according to Treasury Department data published Monday afternoon.
