Foreigners flock to Treasuries - Households slow Treasury binge = Bond market bloodbath deepens

[mEDITate-OR:
think that the only "action" in DC is in trying to figure out
what the Tax deal is or means, and/or if it will happen...???
Not true.
There those pesky TBills, and their owners, to think about.

Who is buying, who is selling, who holds them, and how much of a yield bath are they willing to take ???
"They" are buying..., still, right now...
and WE/U.S. are not & are selling....
only China holds more than WE/U.S. do...
and who, those of U.S holding, The Buck knows.
-------------
The price of TBill sets the yield.
The yield on 10yr bonds sets our RE mortgage interest rates.
What these people...
the Chinese, Japanese, U.S'ns, and the rest of the world...
are thinking and/or doing..., matters..., to U.S.
So, as the Brits would say:
What the Bloody Hell ARE these people thinking...?
Especially the Brits.
-------------------------     Whose buy'n N sell'n - right now
------------     Whose bin buy'n
---------   Whose hold'n em
----------   The winners and the losers
-----------    They can't balance their OWN budget, and are lending to U.S.?

Foreigners flock to Treasuries
If foreigners have had their fill of Treasuries
they sure have a funny way of showing it.

Americans love their Treasurys
Look out, China. U.S. households are now the second-biggest owner of Treasury debt

Bond market bloodbath deepens
Is the bull market for bonds dead at the tender age of 30?
