The People's Bank of China (PBoC) announced on Friday that it would suspend treasury bond purchases in the open market due to a supply shortage, effective immediately. The central bank stated it would resume purchases at an appropriate time based on market conditions. This decision comes amid repeated warnings from the PBoC about bubble risks in China's overheated bond market, where long-term yields have plummeted to record lows.
Over the past year, yields on key bonds, including the benchmark 10-year government bond, have reached unprecedented lows as investors flock to safe-haven assets. This shift is largely driven by ongoing economic uncertainties linked to a prolonged property market slump. In December, Chinese leaders signaled further rate cuts, fueling another surge in bond market activity. This pushed the 10-year treasury bond yield to an all-time low of 1.6% earlier this month, exacerbating concerns over market overheating.(cay) newsmaker23
