## Prediction

Within 30 days, the confluence of weaker foreign demand for US Treasuries, rising Japanese yields, and tighter Chinese tech-capital controls will raise global risk-free and credit spreads, particularly affecting deficit-prone emerging markets and highly levered corporates. Investors will demand higher compensation for political and currency risk, making it harder for vulnerable states to roll over debt or finance current-account gaps. Strategically, this may force some governments toward IMF programs or fiscal austerity just as they face higher food and energy prices. Confirmation would be rising EM hard-currency spreads, more sovereigns tapping IMF or regional safety nets, and widening corporate credit indices; denial would be a coordinated dovish shift by major central banks and credible fiscal consolidation plans in key EMs.

## Drivers

- Foreign holdings of US Treasuries at 1990s lows
- Japan’s 40-year-high bond yields and questions over deficit financing
- China’s outbound investment controls tightening
- Emerging trend: rewiring of global capital flows increasing fragmentation
