US Bonds

Hi guys,

I am quite new to trading, I just wanted to ask you if it would make sense for China or Japan to sells us bonds after today's news.

Thanks a lot.

 

No. Neither hold it for investment.

 

No. They tend to do the "wrong thing" at the "wrong time".

 

Those are in quotes because they are.... ironic?

 

Thanks for the responses. I ended keeping the trade overnight because I hadn't seen the first message. I sold it in the morning for a good profit before bond prices started to rally so I was quite lucky.

 

You were short?

 

Yeah. I shorted US bonds because of the negative outlook from S&P and because I thought the markets would do well during the earnings season.

 

"Yes".

 

Pardon me, I don't see the irony....
