US relies more on foreign stock than debt flows, a dollar risk, Deutsche Bank warns Reuters
Deutsche Bank's warning highlights a current vulnerability in the US balance of payments, as foreign investors prioritize appreciating equity over stable debt instruments.
A strategic reader should care because a shift in foreign capital preference from US debt to equity signals potential instability for the dollar's reserve status and US fiscal policy.

- · US export-oriented companies
- · US Treasury market
- · US dollar holders
Increased reliance on foreign equity flows could make US financial markets more susceptible to external shocks and capital flight.
A prolonged trend of diminished foreign debt appetite could necessitate higher interest rates for US government borrowing, impacting fiscal sustainability.
Reduced global demand for US debt may accelerate discussions around alternative reserve currencies, contributing to de-dollarization pressures.
