Stock investment losses
Such a big risk exposure, the investment carrying huge losses, has been an open secret, and the Earth people are aware the United States the Dow since last September has dropped around 40%.
People in the industry have said that in the past 10 years, the State Administration of Foreign Exchange Management of foreign exchange reserves of the overall profitability of the general. Apart from a few years ago, a slight balance, the most years in the relative devaluation of state assets. Especially since last year, the United States economic recession cause substantial depreciation of U.S. dollar assets exist substantial risk, making SAFE volcanoes such as sitting.
British "Financial Times" quoted the United States Committee on Foreign Relations, Brad Sezer economists estimate that 15% of the investment in accordance with the terms, including "two rooms" and other agencies debt, equity investment, these assets initially investment capital has approximately 250 billion U.S. dollars, with the present rate of depreciation of the stock look, there may be 80 billion U.S. dollars of floating loss.

Chinese Academy of Social Sciences, Institute of Finance, Director of the Center for Chinese Economic Evaluation of Liu Yu-hui said that the risk of U.S. dollar assets should not be underestimated, regardless of the future How interest rates can only be upward, it highlights the risk of long-term debts. At the same time, short-term debt bubble components is relatively large.
Liu Yu-hui that the current United States, Europe's benchmark interest rates have reached zero interest rate or zero interest rates to move, either as government bonds or corporate bonds, fixed income products that tend to bubble. Credit throughout the United States to create mechanisms to a standstill, and nothing to show for financial institutions, the market's long-term interest rates have remained high.
