China Sees Massive Demand For USD Bond Issuance, Priced In Line With USTs For First Time
As the ceasefire in the US-China trade war starts to fray at the edges (most notably in commodity export controls and tit-for-tat responses), it appears that China is having no issues whatsoever competing with the US for the world's capital.
China's return to the dollar bond market generated enough demand to cover the deal almost 30 times over, with a $118.1 billion order book.
“It was so popular,” said Serena Zhou, senior China economist at Mizuho Securities, adding that some investors complained they weren't allocated enough bonds.
“Although it priced on par, it will still be free money.”
China last issued dollar bonds in 2024, when it sold $2bn of debt in Saudi Arabia.
“Markets are flush with liquidity and geopolitical tensions have eased,” said David Yim, head of capital markets, Greater China and North Asia, at Standard Chartered, which was one of the bookrunners for the deal.

How Ethereum Treasury Companies Could Spark 'DeFi Summer 2.0'
Authored by Andrew Fenton via CoinTelegraph.com,
Since they emerged from stealth mode two months ago, a dozen Ethereum treasury companies have bought 2 million ETH between them, with Standard Chartered analysts estimating they'll add another 10 million to that pile over time.
There's growing excitement that billions worth of that ETH could flow into DeFi protocols as firms compete to chase yields greater than the 3%-5% on offer from staking and re-staking.
Etherealize's Vivek Raman tells Magazine “healthy competition” between treasury companies for yield could light a fire under the DeFi sector before the end of the year.
"I'm actually pretty excited to see it. This could be the stimulus needed for DeFi Summer 2.0 — but on the institutional scale and bigger and better.”
GameSquare Holdings, BTCS, BitDigital, The Ether Machine and ETHZilla have all announced plans to juice ETH yields via DeFi, while Tom Lee's BitM...
