Reports say China has sold about $3 billion of US Treasury bonds over the past month, raising concerns it could be using bond sales as a trade-war weapon. Economists quoted in the piece view a broad dumping as unlikely and see the sales as a tactic, while China holds about $1.2 trillion in US debt.
Large Chinese bond sales could push US yields higher and strengthen the dollar, tightening financial conditions for emerging markets. A stronger dollar tends to pressure commodity prices and raise import costs for feed buyers.
