中國加劇減持美債至18年低點 連23個月增持黃金至2400公噸

Quick Look

美國財政部數據顯示,8月中國持有的美國公債從7月的6180億美元降至5907億美元,為2008年8月以來最低點;日本拋售美債使其持有規模從1.1兆美元降至1.07兆美元;英國與加拿大則增持美債,部分抵銷亞洲國家的拋售壓力。同時,中國持續增持黃金儲備,9月增至774.7萬金衡盎司,連續23個月增長。

AI-generated summary

Why It Matters

中國自去年3月起降為美國公債第三大持有國,持續減持美債同時增加黃金儲備,反映其外匯儲備結構調整與對美國財政前景的謹慎評估。

〔編譯魏國金/台北報導〕南華早報17日報導,在地緣政治緊張升溫,以及對華府財政前景疑慮之下,8月中國進一步降低美債持有部位至18年低點,日本也拋售美國公債,不過,英國與加拿大增持美債,局部抵銷這兩個亞洲國家的拋售程度。

請繼續往下閱讀...

美國財政部16日公布的數據顯示,8月中國持有的美國公債從7月的6180億美元降至5907億美元,為2008年8月以來最低點,當時持有規模降至5737億美元。

日本是美國公債最大持有國,8月日本拋售美債,使其持債規模從7月的1.1兆美元降至1.07兆美元。

數據顯示,8月外國持有美國公債總額9.33兆美元,從7月的9.25兆美元上升。其中,美債第2大持有英國增加持債規模從9983億美元擴大至1.01兆美元,加拿大則增持383億美元至4646億美元。

隨著美國國債突破40兆美元,以及30年美國公債殖利率仍高於5%關卡,8月對華府財政永續性的疑慮加劇。為支持債市流動性,美國財政部8月中旬宣布擴大10年至30年期公債回購規模至少1倍。

16日午盤,美國30年公債殖利率從近日的24年高點降至5.43%,10年期公債殖利率站上5.08%。

中國持續減持美債,至去年3月落後日本與英國,成為美債第3大持有國。相較於進一步減持美國公債,中國穩定增加黃金儲備。官方數據顯示,中國人民銀行9月增持黃金儲備至774.7萬金衡盎司(2400公噸),為連續第23個月增持。
