Get ready for more USD depreciation: Japan/China unload BILLIONS in USD investments

http://www.telegraph.co.uk/money/mai...cnchina116.xml

Asian investors dumped $52bn worth of US Treasury bonds alone, led by Japan ($23bn), China ($14.2bn) and Taiwan ($5bn). It is the first time since 1998 that foreigners have, on balance, sold Treasuries.

Mr Ostwald warned that US bond yields could start to rise again unless the outflows reverse quickly. "Woe betide US Treasuries if inflation does not remain benign," he said.

The release comes a day after the IMF warned that the dollar was still overvalued and likely to face "some depreciation in the medium term".

My comment: Oh sheesh.... Any mainstream sponsors pay in EURO or GBP?
