- marcamillion 15y agoGood point. It would be interesting to see where the trade originated. If it originates from Britain, there could be a good chance that a foreign central bank is behind it. But that just doesn't make sense - because most foreign central banks that have the wherewithall to do that own a TON of Treasuries, so they are just making things worse for themselves....don't see how that makes sense. But I could be missing something here.
