UBS Asset Management's Kevin Zhao Bets Against Treasuries Amid Strong US Growth

17 Temmuz 2026Bloomberg

Kevin Zhao of UBS Asset Management is shifting his investment strategy by planning to short Treasuries. He believes that the strong performance of the US economy will diminish the attractiveness of government debt as a safe haven.
This move reflects a broader trend in the market as investors reassess their positions amid differing economic conditions in the US and Europe.
The US economy has been performing well, with indicators suggesting growth that outpaces that of Europe. This economic disparity is influencing investment strategies, particularly in the bond market, where Treasuries have traditionally been seen as a safe haven.
Zhao's decision to short Treasuries signals a significant shift in market sentiment, particularly as the US economy continues to show resilience compared to Europe. This could lead to increased volatility in the bond market, as investors recalibrate their expectations for interest rates and economic growth.
