Is Russia Selling Chinese Bonds? Theories On Rare Bond Outflows By Ye Xie, Bloomberg Markets Live reporter and analyst Foreign investors reduced their holdings of Chinese government bonds by the most ever last month. A few theories could explain the rare outflows, including potential sales by Russia as U.S. and EU sanctions blocked access to most of its foreign reserves. Emerging-market and European funds also could have sold the bonds to meet redemption requests as geopolitical risks escalate. Overseas investors sold a net 35 billion yuan ($5.5 billion) of Chinese government bonds in February, marking the largest monthly cut on record and the first reduction since March 2021, the latest ChinaBond data showed . That marked an abrupt reversal of the recent trend. Inflows averaged 72 billion yuan a month since the end of October, when FTSE Russell added Chinese bonds to its global benchmark. What’s going on? The first somewhat obvious explanation is that the narrowing yield differential between China and the U.S. dimmed the allure of Chinese bonds.

LBMA''s Fear Of Stoking The Russian Bear: From ETF Concerns To Monetary Mayhem Submitted by Ronan Manly, BullionStar.com Last week, on 24 February, when the UK Government introduced a raft of sanctions against Russian banks and Russian oligarchs, the cogs in the UK financial system began moving with British financial institutions rushing to distance themselves from the Russian financial sector.

Russia’s National Settlement Depository received the interest - 11.2 billion rubles ($98 million) on 339 billion rubles of bonds known as OFZs due February 2024 - from the government on Wednesday and paid local investors, they said.

Wall Street Is Quietly Trading For The Return Of Russia, Sparking Liz Warren''s Outrage For holders of Russian equities, the past week has been nothing short of a surreal, modern-day version of Dante''s 10th circle of hell, where in the span of just a few days virtually all Russian stocks have seen their value wiped out as a result of a barrage of western sanctions that have disconnected Russian equities from global capital markets and money flows, nowhere more visibly than in the stock of Russian Novatek PJSC, Russia''s second-largest natural gas producer and the world''s seventh-largest publicly traded company by natural gas production volume, which collapsed from $215 on Feb 16, to 65 cents a few days later. The carnage has been unprecedented, and not just at Novetek - the most widely-held Russian stock among ETFs and other international investors - but across the equity spectrum where adding insult to injury, investors have been blocked from selling their holdings as stocks plunged and fortunes were wiped out overnight.
