It will become a major opportunity for development in Hong Kong
One of them, the impact of the US dollar to the United States is far -reaching.The promotion of the US dollar to the US dollar will reduce the U.S. dollar, which is not good for the value of the US assets and impacts the US bond market.France, Saudi Arabia, Israel and other countries have sold U.S. Treasury bonds last year. Japan and China, which holds the largest US debt, also reduced their holdings of 224.5 billion and US $ 173.2 billion last year.What matters worse is that due to the bank crisis in the United States, foreign central banks reduced their holdings of US $ 76 billion in US dollars within a week at the end of last month, a new high in 9 years.
