El-Erian outlined his views on the Treasury market in an interview on CNBC, highlighting an emerging supply and demand issue that has him concerned.<\/p>\n

“We have developed a fundamental imbalance between the amount of issuance we’re going to see and the amount of money available to buy that issuance,” he said.<\/p>\n

El-Erian noted that it poses complications for the US economy as the government ramps up its efforts to sell more debt at a time when buyers might be scarce and as concerns are already swirling about the US debt and budget deficit. <\/p>\n

He revealed a few specific factors he sees weighing on the US bond market as new bond supply ramps up, putting downward pressure on prices and upward pressure on yields. <\/p>\n

“We’re running a deficit of 6% or 7% of GDP,” he said. “We have enormous refinancing to be done, and companies are issuing a lot more than they’ve had in the past.”<\/p>\n

El-Erian also addressed the recent statements made by former US Treasury Secretary Henry Paulson, who warned<\/a> investors on Thursday to prepare for a “vicious” bond market crash that the government is going to have to deal with. <\/p>\n

While El-Erian noted that he views Paulson’s claims as “alarmist,” he acknowledged that he sees other problems stemming from the demand side as interest from foreign buyers weakens. <\/p>\n

In February, Chinese regulators urged banks<\/a> to scale back on US debt holdings. Now El-Erian seems to think this problem is accelerating.<\/p>\n

“Buyers get nervous,” he said. “They want market solutions. They don’t want any price imposed on them. That’s a concern. But I think the fundamental issue is that the market doesn’t realize we have this imbalance that’s going to get bigger.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Mohamed El-Erian has warned investors of problems in private credit, but he also sees trouble brewing in the…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":590652,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[36],"tags":[59000,18280,5849,28,41978,29372,257864,101,257866,2995,257865,65550,8617,7530,257867,167722,257863],"class_list":{"0":"post-590651","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-economy","8":"tag-amount","9":"tag-bond-market","10":"tag-budget-deficit","11":"tag-business","12":"tag-buyer","13":"tag-concern","14":"tag-demand-problem","15":"tag-economy","16":"tag-fundamental-imbalance","17":"tag-investor","18":"tag-issuance","19":"tag-mohamed-el-erian","20":"tag-price","21":"tag-supply","22":"tag-treasury-market","23":"tag-upward-pressure","24":"tag-us-government-debt"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/590651","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=590651"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/590651\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/590652"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=590651"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=590651"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=590651"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
