Points

• Danish pension operator AkademikerPension said it is exiting U.S. Treasurys over finance concerns tied to America’s budget shortfall.
• The move comes amid increasing tensions with the U.S. over Greenland as President Donald Trump pushes for control of the island.
• AkademikerPension said it plans to have closed its position of around $100 million in U.S. Treasurys by the end of the month.

So, some other nation is getting a good discount on US bonds at the expense of Denmark retirees.

We spend more than that on a couple of MN day care Learing centers.

Heck, Biden earmarked 2 Billion for Stacy Abram’s charity!

100 million to the US is like me finding a dirty penny under my car's floor mat.

I have noted in the past some of the countries working to dump the dollar. I never considered Denmark to be on that list. Trump truly is amazing.

If memory serves China has recently dumped over two billion in bonds and did not move the needle at all.

Selling, not dumping.

True.

Europe is done trying to appease him. They're learning from their own history.

It's about time.

It's more like the other way around.

The Federal Reserve has been buying up foreign divestments with digital money to mask any negative impact.

Western Europe.

Eastern Europe is still with us, because they know the Bear and the Dragon are far far worse.

Where will Denmark invest their money in sardines. They will be back soon

Selling, not dumping.

Selling at a loss is often called dumping.

Were they selling at a loss or at market price?

European countries are circling the drain thanks to the ineptitude of their leaders. They can't stand it that America once again has a strong pro-American President.

The Petrodollar died years ago .
Some people still cannot see this self evident fact and wrap themselves in verbal knots .
Why would you accept paper written assurances/ promises from a Bankrupt ?

All depends on when they bought them, especially if it was during a much lower interest rate environment

Fewer and fewer will be.

Bonds were likely bought and sold over time at differing interest rates and maturities. Likely can't be easily sorted out. So they might win, lose, or break even.
