Hedge funds hold record 7% of US Treasury market
Original: Hedge funds are holding a record 7% of the $30 trillion Treasury market
Hedge funds now hold a record 7% of the $30 trillion US Treasury market, according to a new report. The figure highlights how heavily leveraged funds have become major players in government debt trading, often through basis trades that exploit small price differences between Treasuries and futures. Analysts are watching the growing share closely, since rapid unwinding of such positions could add volatility to a market that underpins global finance.
Why now: Record hedge fund exposure to US government debt raises concerns about market stability if positions unwind quickly.
