The global bond market is currently selling off, and the scale of panda bond issuance has reached a record high

Comparative news. According to CCTV financial reports, the yield on long-term treasury bonds of the world's major economies has continued to rise recently, and the sell-off pressure on the bond market is heating up. However, the Chinese bond market and exchange rate have maintained a relatively smooth operation, and the scale of panda bond issuance has reached a record high for the same period in history. According to the data, as of August 21, the cumulative issuance scale of panda bonds in 2026 reached 209.975 billion yuan, an increase of over 73% over the previous year. Against the backdrop of drastic fluctuations in global bond markets, international institutions are increasing domestic RMB financing, drawing attention. According to industry insiders, we are in a completely different economic and monetary cycle than overseas. Foreign capital accounts for only about 5%-8% of China's bond market, and domestic capital has absolute pricing power. Combined with our monetary policy, we insist that I am the main focus, and overseas shocks cannot reverse the overall trend of the domestic bond market. Looking ahead to the future market, industry insiders believe that the yield on overseas bonds is likely to remain high, the allocation value of RMB bonds is prominent, and the medium to long term may welcome a continuous increase in foreign capital allocation. However, it is also important to note that higher yields on US bonds have raised the return threshold for global allocated funds, and may disrupt the will of overseas institutions to increase their holdings of RMB bonds. Furthermore, the rapid rise in bond yields in overseas developed countries may also limit domestic risk asset valuations.

The US debt repurchase program unexpectedly boosted Bitcoin by 25%, and the scale of short liquidations reached $4 billion

Comparatively, after the US Treasury expanded the scale of long-term US bond repurchases, the yield on 30-year US bonds fell from a 19-year high of 5.34% to about 5.19%, while Bitcoin rose by about 25% within a few days, breaking through $79,000 at one point. Approximately $4 billion of short cryptocurrency positions were liquidated during this period, further amplifying the gains. The US Treasury Department previously announced that it would increase the scale of the longest term treasury bond repurchase operation from a single $2 billion to $4 billion. Analysts pointed out that this operation is not equivalent to the Federal Reserve's quantitative easing (QE). The main effect is to improve the liquidity of old securities and optimize the debt structure, but the market sees it as a signal of policy support for long-term US bond yields. Analysts believe that the key to Bitcoin's surge is not the buyback itself, but rather that the market's previous short positions were too concentrated. After the long-term decline in US bond yields, bears were forced to close their positions, creating a strong shorting market. Meanwhile, the net inflow of US spot Bitcoin ETFs was around $6.5 billion this week, and Trump once again urged Congress to move forward with the CLARITY Act to further strengthen market risk appetite. CoinEx chief analyst Jeff Ko said that the key right now is whether Bitcoin can hold the 200-day EMA of around $69,000 and turn it from resistance to support. Market participants also warned that if the 10-year US Treasury yield rises above 4.7% and the 30-year yield approaches 5.3%, Bitcoin's current breakthrough may face a new test. Bitcoin has now broken through the 200-day EMA and continues to rise. In the next phase, the market will focus on whether it can maintain its gains in a high-yield environment.

Next week's macro outlook: US and Iran sanctions, Jackson Hole, PCE, and Nvidia's earnings report are coming in four major variables. The gold sword points to $4,700

Comparing news, the global market will face multiple risk events next week. The escalation of US and Iran sanctions, Federal Reserve Chairman Walsh's debut at the Jackson Hole World Central Bank Annual Meeting, the release of PCE inflation data in the US for July, and the disclosure of Nvidia's earnings report may become core variables affecting risk asset trends. This week, the sharp rise in US long-term bond yields raised market concerns. After the Treasury expanded the scale of long-term US bond repurchases, the pressure on the bond market eased somewhat, but investors are still concerned about the US fiscal deficit, inflation, and developments in the Middle East. Driven by US debt sustainability concerns, the weakening dollar, and the Treasury Department's expansion of the US bond repurchase program, spot gold surpassed 4,600 US dollars/ounce this week, rising for the third consecutive week, and hit a high of around $4,632 on Friday. Analysts believe that if gold effectively breaks through $4,600, the next target may be at $4680 or even $4,700. Next week, the US-Iran relationship will be the primary focus of the market. US Treasury Secretary Bessent said that the Trump administration will announce new sanctions against Iran on Monday. Trump previously warned that any country providing support to Iran could face economic consequences. Meanwhile, transportation activities in the Strait of Hormuz continue to be blocked, and energy supply risks are driving crude oil to rise continuously. On the Federal Reserve side, the Jackson Hole Global Central Bank Annual Meeting will be held from August 27th to 29th, and Federal Reserve Chairman Walsh will deliver his first speech on August 28. The market is concerned about whether it will release future interest rate path signals and whether it can ease recent pressure on the US bond market. Currently, the market expects that the probability that the Federal Reserve will cut interest rates in September has declined, and traders will focus on Walsh's statement on the 2% inflation target, long-term interest rate, and monetary policy framework. In terms of economic data, the US core PCE price index for July will be released next week. This is the inflation indicator that the Federal Reserve is focusing on. The market expects core PCE to rise 0.2% month-on-month. If the data is higher than expected, it may weaken expectations of interest rate cuts and put pressure on gold; if it falls short, it may further drive the rise of precious metals. In addition, revised US second-quarter GDP values, durable goods orders, consumer confidence index, and revised non-farm payroll benchmark data will also be released one after another next week. On the corporate side, Nvidia's (NVDA) earnings report will be the focus of the US stock market. Technology stocks have recently been under pressure. The Nasdaq index fell about 2% this week, and the semiconductor sector fell by more than 4%. The market will focus on Nvidia's continued investment in AI infrastructure, the progress of Rubin chips, and the state of business in China. Analysts believe that if Nvidia's performance continues to strengthen AI growth expectations, it may become an important catalyst for the S&P 500 index to hit 8,000 points; if performance or guidance falls short of expectations, it may increase the pressure on technology stocks to adjust.

FT: The economy was under pressure in the Trump era, oil prices rose at the same time as mortgage interest rates, and US debt surpassed $40 trillion

Comparing news, the Financial Times article said that the Trump administration's economic policy is facing multiple pressures: US federal debt has surpassed 40 trillion US dollars, long-term US bond yields have risen to a 19-year high, the Iran war has driven up energy prices, and mortgage interest rates have continued to rise. This week, the US long-term treasury bond market experienced sharp fluctuations. Investors are driving long-term US bond yields higher due to concerns about the expansion of government borrowing and the risk of inflation brought about by the war. US Treasury Secretary Bezent then announced an expansion of the long-term treasury bond repurchase program and plans to introduce measures to reduce the fiscal deficit, but the market response was limited, and the US dollar weakened. According to the data, the size of the US government debt surpassed 40 trillion US dollars for the first time this week, and the growth rate of federal spending reached the fastest level since the pandemic. The US fiscal deficit fell only slightly to 5.8% of GDP in FY2025, and Trump's tax cuts are expected to further increase fiscal pressure in the future. On the energy side, the US-Iran conflict is driving up fuel prices in the US. The price of gasoline rose by about 40% from before the war, to $4.11 per gallon; the price of diesel rose to $5.58 per gallon. Rising energy costs have weakened Trump's previous policy goals of reducing living costs and energy prices. The housing market was also under pressure, and interest rates on 30-year US mortgages rose to 6.65%, up from 5.98% before the war broke out. Meanwhile, consumer inflation in the US rose to a three-year high of 4.2% in May and fell back to 3.4% in July, but Federal Reserve officials are still worried that inflationary pressure continues. Although the US economy is still supported by consumer spending and AI infrastructure investment by big tech companies, the growth rate is below the government's previous target. The annualized growth rate of US GDP in the second quarter of 2026 was about 1.5%, lower than the previously proposed growth forecast of 3% or more. Market participants believe that high debt, high financing costs, and rising energy prices are weakening consumer confidence and may become important political pressures facing the Trump administration. Bessent said that the US is still expected to improve its fiscal situation through economic growth.

Review of this week's macro hot topics: the US debt crisis, AI infrastructure, and geopolitical conflicts are the main lines of the market this week

Comparing news, the global market this week focused on US debt pressure, AI capital expansion, and the US-Iran economic game. After the US Treasury expanded the scale of long-term treasury bond repurchases, US bond yields declined briefly, but the market feared that fiscal deficits and debt growth pressure would be difficult to ease through liquidity tools. The US federal government debt surpassed 40 trillion US dollars for the first time. The yield on 30-year US bonds once rose to a high level since 2007, and the global long-term bond market was under pressure simultaneously. The minutes of the Federal Reserve's July meeting show that internal hawkish forces are growing, and there are more than three voting members supporting interest rate hikes. Some officials are concerned that tariffs, energy prices, and AI infrastructure investments could drive up inflation. Meanwhile, Federal Reserve Chairman Walsh suggested that in the future, consideration could be given to reducing the number of annual meetings from 8 to 6. Driven by the weakening dollar and risk aversion, gold broke through the 4,600 US dollars/ounce mark this week and rose for the third week in a row; crude oil was higher, supported by the risk of the Strait of Hormuz and expectations of US sanctions against Iran. Geographically, the US-Iran relationship is shifting to putting pressure on the economy. The US plans to weaken Iran's economy by expanding sanctions and economic isolation, while Iran is studying countermeasures against energy transportation nodes, and the safety of the Strait of Hormuz has become the focus of market attention. In the field of technology, AI infrastructure competition continues to escalate. Nvidia guarantees up to $105 billion for the OpenAI data center project, and Broadcom is also planning an AI financing plan of up to $100 billion. Meanwhile, Anthropic's revenue surpassed OpenAI for the first time, and plans to advance IPOs, further intensifying AI companies' commercialization competition. On the capital market side, Yushu Technology skyrocketed on the first day it landed on the Science and Technology Innovation Board. At one point, its market capitalization exceeded 44 billion yuan, and founder Wang Xingxing's net worth increased dramatically. South Korean semiconductor giant SK Hynix announced a repurchase plan of approximately 40 trillion won, and Samsung is also planning to increase shareholder returns. Furthermore, trade negotiations between the US and Canada ushered in a critical window. The US suspended the imposition of up to 50% tariffs on Canadian goods for three days, and the two sides continued to seek trade agreements. The core logic of the market this week still revolves around three themes: whether US fiscal pressure worsens further, whether AI capital investment is forming a new round of asset bubbles, and whether global geopolitical risks are driving safe-haven assets to continue to rise.

Founder of Qiaoshui Fund: The risk of US bonds is rising. It is recommended to reduce bond holdings, increase gold holdings, and a small amount of Bitcoin

Comparing news, the founder of the Bridgewater Fund, Ray Dalio wrote that recent events such as the Japanese government's sale of some US bonds, record high yields on US long-term treasury bonds while weakening the US dollar, and the US Treasury's announcement to buy treasury bonds are highly similar to the “classic debt restructuring template” proposed by the US Treasury. Dalio believes that when the growth rate of government debt exceeds the growth rate of revenue, interest expenses will continue to squeeze fiscal space; if the supply of treasury bonds exceeds market demand, it may push yields to rise further and force the central bank to stabilize the market by purchasing treasury bonds and increasing the money supply, thereby weakening the value of money. In this context, Dalio proposed reducing bond allocations, increasing non-debt assets such as gold, and allocating a small amount of Bitcoin.

[Comparative Daily News Picks] Anthropic plans to include anti-AI sentiment as the main risk factor in the prospectus; Strategy's stock price hit a two-month high, and STRC returned above $96; Bernstein: Even if the “Clarity Act” is not passed, the SEC and CFTC will speed up rule-making; Dalio: The US debt crisis may break out within three years, and it is recommended to increase gold holdings

Daily AI · Crypto · Macro · Market Highlights, Bitpush helps you set priorities ↓ AI · News [Anthropic plans to include anti-AI sentiment as the main risk factor in the prospectus]. According to CNBC, Anthropic is expected to list the public's negative sentiment about artificial intelligence and data centers as a risk factor in the IPO prospectus to be released in the next few weeks. According to people familiar with the matter, Anthropic recently held a pre-listing “market trial” meeting with bankers and investors. Investors focused on competitive pressure, the impact of open source models on profit margins, and the risks that may be brought about by a slowdown in data center construction. Anthropic is currently valued at close to $1 trillion in the private equity market and is preparing to hit a major IPO. However, as Americans' concerns about AI replacing employment and data center expansion heat up, the related backlash sentiment is becoming a new challenge facing the company's listing. The company has previously achieved an annualized revenue operating rate of more than 65 billion US dollars. [Apple cuts Siri and Vision Pro team positions, and resources shift to AI and new devices] Compared to news, Apple (AAPL.O) is laying off employees from various teams responsible for Siri's digital assistants and Vision Pro headsets. The total impact of this layoff is more than 200 people. Of these, about 100 jobs in the Vision Pro department have been abolished, and about 100 other positions in the Siri and software teams have been cut. The move is part of the company's efforts to focus resources on new devices and artificial intelligence. People familiar with the matter said that in this adjustment, Apple has basically shut down a team dedicated to the Vision Pro game business, while also reducing the size of the department responsible for producing immersive video content for the device. Apple admitted in a statement that the company is making adjustments to some teams “to drive business development and provide the best experience for users.” [Castle Securities: Over 80% of the overall risk in the Situational Awareness Fund portfolio has been divested] According to the Financial Times, Castle Securities founder Ken Griffin responded to the company's acquisition of Situational Awareness assets under Leopold (Leopold) in a letter to clients on Friday. According to a letter obtained by CNBC, Griffin told clients that Castle Securities had divested more than 80% of the overall risk in the original purchased portfolio by conducting more than 100 major transactions (with a market value of more than $4 billion). In his letter, Griffin wrote, “A transaction of this scale would not have been possible without the full cooperation of the transaction teams and lead brokerage teams of the banks serving the two companies. I am very grateful for their dedicated efforts to complete the portfolio transfer quickly.” Griffin also confirmed that the company's flagship multi-strategy fund, the Wellington Fund, had a return of 5.94% in July, which is the fund's best monthly performance since 2022. [AI cloud company Nscale seeks to raise 3 billion US dollars in US IPOs] In comparison, AI cloud company Nscale is reportedly seeking to raise 3 billion US dollars in a US IPO. In the crypto market [Strategy stock price hit a two-month high, STRC returned above $96], the Bitcoin treasury company Strategy (MSTR) stock price rose to a two-month high today as the Bitcoin price briefly broke through $79,400. It broke through $120 during the intraday period, then partially regained its gains. Meanwhile, the price of STRC, Strategy's preferred stock product, also surpassed $96 for the first time since June. Previously, STRC's price once fell below $70 due to concerns about its ability to pay dividends and the ability of the stock price to maintain the $100 target for a long time. [Bernstein: Even if the Clarity Act is not passed, the SEC and CFTC will speed up rulemaking] Comparing news, the Bernstein analyst team led by Gautam Chhugani released a report stating that regardless of the procedural voting results of the “Clarity Act” on September 15, the certainty of US crypto regulation is expected to increase. They expect the SEC and CFTC to accelerate rulemaking in areas such as native crypto asset issuance, tokenized stocks, perpetual futures, computing power derivatives, and predictive markets. This regulatory clarity of expectations has become one of the broader supporting factors in the crypto market. 【A...

Trump: Bezent was not instructed to interfere in the bond market at all; solving the $40 trillion US debt problem depends on growth

Comparing news, US President Trump responded to the fact that the size of US treasury bonds exceeded 40 trillion US dollars, saying that this problem has existed for 35 years. The way to resolve debt is through growth, and the US is currently achieving “very strong growth,” and it will be “easy to solve” this problem. When asked if he had ever asked US Treasury Secretary Bezent to interfere in the bond market, Trump denied it, saying “nothing at all.” Trump said that Bezent is a “very capable person,” that Bezent himself wants to take relevant actions, and that he “has a good intuition about bonds and interest rates.” When asked if he would discuss further intervention measures with Bezent after the recovery in US bond yields, Trump responded, “The ultimate intervention is our military, and we will act when it is time to act.”

Dalio's latest warning: the US debt crisis may explode within three years. The antidote is...

Author: Ray Dalio, founder of Qiaoshui Foundation Original title: How Countries Go Broke: The Dynamic Behind What is Incurable Now Compiled and organized by: bitPushNews In “How Countries Go Bankrupt: The Big Cycle,” I detailed an analytical framework to describe dynamic processes that are highly likely to occur due to unsustainable imbalances between debt supply and demand. Recently, three things happened at the same time: 1) The Japanese government sold part of its US Treasury holdings to return capital to Japan to support the yen and the Japanese capital market, and reduce exposure to US Treasury bonds while avoiding being forced to raise interest rates beyond its wishes in order to support the yen; 2) US bond yields hit new highs under long-term leadership, while the dollar weakened. The reasons include not only the current and anticipated supply of huge debt, but also weak demand for US bonds; 3) Treasury Secretary Bessent announced this week that the US Treasury would buy US Treasury bonds and be able to buy other US Treasury bonds The amount of capital used is limited, and many people ask me : Do these events fit the classic template I set out in my book? The answer is yes. To anticipate what might happen next, let's first review this operating mechanism. The operating mechanism explains in detail that the central government's debt dynamics are the same principles as the debt dynamics of individuals or companies. The only difference is that the central government has a central bank that can print money (this will depreciate the currency), and it can obtain funds from the public through taxation. Because of this, if you imagine how the debt dynamic would work if you or the business you run could print money, or get capital from people through taxation — then you can understand this process. But remember, your goal is for the entire system to work well, not only for yourself, but for all citizens. In my opinion, the credit/market system is like the human body's circulatory system, delivering nutrients to every corner that makes up the market and economy. If credit is used effectively, it can generate productivity and income to repay debt and interest on debt, which is a healthy state of affairs. However, if credit is not properly used to generate sufficient income to repay debts and interest, debt payments will continue to pile up like plaques in blood vessels, squeezing other expenses. When debt payments become very large, debt repayment problems arise, and eventually evolve into debt rollover problems — because debt holders are unwilling to continue to roll over and instead want to sell. Naturally, this will lead to a shortage of demand and sell-off of debt instruments such as bonds; when demand is scarce relative to supply, it either causes a) interest rates to rise, thereby suppressing the market and economic downturn, or b) the central bank “prints money” and buys debt, which will reduce the value of the currency, thereby driving up inflation (compared to the original level). Banknote printing also artificially lowers interest rates and harms lenders' returns. Both options are bad. When debt sell-offs are too large and difficult to contain, and the central bank has already purchased large amounts of debt, rising interest rates can cause the central bank to lose money and damage its cash flow. If this continues, the central bank will fall into a situation where net assets are negative. When this situation became serious, the central government and central bank needed to borrow money to repay the principal and interest of the debt, while the central bank printed money to provide loans due to insufficient free market demand, so a self-reinforcing spiral between debt/banknote printing/inflation formed. In summary, the classic indicators to pay attention to are the following: the ratio of government debt payments to government revenue (which is like the amount of plaque in the circulatory system), the ratio of government debt sold to the demand for government debt (this is like a plaque falling off and causing a heart attack), and the amount of government debt purchased by the central bank to cover the gap between the demand for government debt and the supply of government debt to be sold (this is like the central bank applying a larger dose of liquidity/credit to mitigate liquidity shortages, and the central bank has a risk appetite for these debts). These indicators usually rise over a long cycle of decades — debt and debt payments continue to grow in relation to income — until this state of affairs cannot continue because: 1) debt repayment expenses unacceptably crowd out other expenses, 2) the supply of debt that must be purchased is too large, causing interest rates to rise sharply, leading to a sharp decline in the market and economy, or 3) central banks are unwilling to let interest rates rise and suffer bad market/economic consequences, so they print large amounts of money and buy large amounts of government debt to cover the demand gap, thereby making the value of the currency significant Decreased. Either way, the return on bonds will be poor until the money and debt eventually become cheap enough to attract demand, or the government can cheaply buy back or repay...
