US Treasury auctions lose traction with foreign buyers The international capital markets indicate that the once popular US debt paper is no longer the darling among available government backed paper and institutional investors seem to prefer euro or yen denominated paper instead. A second factor that plays a role is the eternal question about the current AAA rating the US Treasury enjoys, courtesy of Moody’s, S&P and Fitch, and whether US Treasuries should not be downgraded in light of the debt/GDP ratio and the reoccurring budget deficits.
