BlackRock CIO for FX, Rick Rieder, comments in an interview with Bloomberg TV

  • "China is a bit of a wild card" on Treasury purchases
  • China has become a very big player in all markets
  • How they start to move things around is going to be significant
  • Japan has turned into a net seller of Treasuries
