Chinese and Japanese investors, including the nations' central banks, are the two biggest holders of marketable U.S. Treasury securities, accounting for more than a fifth of the total outstanding as of November, according to the Treasury Department. Japan held $714.9 billion and China had $191.1 billion of the $3.95 trillion, the figures show.

Fewer purchases of Treasuries by Asian central banks would send U.S. 10-year yields up as much as half a percentage point, according to Ralph Axel, a bond strategist in New York at HSBC Securities USA Inc.
