The weak performance of US stocks also dragged down the 30,000-dollar ADRs listed in the United States. China’s ambassador to the United States, Cui Tiankai, hinted that China does not rule out reducing the purchase of U.S. debt in response to the US’s levy of tariffs on Chinese products. The market is expected to have an impact on the global bond market, or to cause a large number of market splits.

Some bond traders pointed out that if China sells U.S. debt, U.S. treasury yields will rise.

Fu Guobin, Managing Director of Evergrande Financial Asset Management, stated that this year’s investment market faces multiple challenges, not only the normalization of monetary policy, but also the volatility of the market should revert to the previous level. The long-term low VIX index will no longer be expected. Hong Kong stocks will get more and more ups and downs.

He pointed out that after the United States announced trade measures against China on Thursday, the local VIX index rose by more than 30% in one day, US stocks tumbled, and safe-haven assets such as US debt, Japanese yen and gold rose higher. The market turned conservative.
