A debt market crisis is brewing in China: the yield on 10-year bonds has reached a historic low due to high demand. The Chinese Ministry of Finance plans to issue additional debts of $400 billion, which could lead to a drop in bond prices and losses for their holders, triggering a banking crisis. The Chinese yuan may strengthen by 10% if local companies decide to sell dollar assets worth $1 trillion. This development is predicted by the head of Eurizon SLJ Capital, Steven Jen. The main reason for this may be the Fed's rate cut and the associated loss of attractiveness of American assets.
