Hedge funds' record Treasury market stake raises alarm
Original: Hedge funds hold a record share of the $30 trillion Treasury market. What could go wrong?
Hedge funds now hold a record share of the $30 trillion US Treasury market, prompting questions about the risks this concentration poses to financial stability. Much of the position is thought to sit in leveraged basis trades, which could unwind quickly in a market shock and amplify volatility, echoing concerns from past episodes of Treasury market stress.
Why now: Record hedge fund exposure to Treasuries is raising fresh concerns about leverage and potential market instability.
