Analysis: US-UK Bond Market Downturn May Reflect Forced Selling by Hedge Funds

BlockBeats News, April 11th, LBBW Senior Fixed Income Analyst Volker stated in a report that part of the reason for the rise in US and UK bond yields may be that, following a sharp drop in stock prices earlier this week, hedge funds needed liquidity. "Due to the sharp decline in stock market prices, hedge funds were forced to sell off, providing another explanation for the weakness in the US and UK bond markets." (FX678)
