Nikkei: Markt-Intervention der USA beruhigt Anleger in Asien
Das US-Finanzministerium kündigte an, die Rückkäufe von langlaufenden Staatsanleihen zu verdoppeln. Das stimmte die asiatischen Anleger optimistisch. Der Nikkei und die Börse in Shanghai gewannen.
The U.S. Department of the Treasury's market-stabilizing intervention has calmed investor nerves and propelled stock markets on Thursday. The Treasury announced it would double the buybacks of long-term government bonds, aimed at countering the recent wave of selling that pushed the yield on the 30-year U.S. bond to its highest level since 2007.
This led to a drop in yields for U.S. Treasury securities and Japanese and German government papers. The Tokyo Stock Exchange's Nikkei 225 index surged 1.2 percent, while Shanghai's market rose 0.2 percent. However, some investors remain skeptical. "The more the U.S. Treasury wants to intervene, the more institutional selling it will trigger," said Cusson Leung, chief investment officer at KGI.
