February 9, Fineko/abc.az. Chinese regulators have advised banks to limit their holdings of U.S. Treasury bonds because of concentration risks and market volatility.

ABC.AZ informs that the guidance was passed verbally to the largest banks in order to reduce potential market fluctuations.

The source clarifies that the measures are aimed at diversifying risks, and not at political goals or doubts about the creditworthiness of the U.S. The directive does not apply to U.S. bonds already owned by China.
