彭博顯示前8月美債淨買額約1743億美元，為多國盟友近年新低；日本淨買3.89億、韓國淨賣238億、台灣轉為淨賣。亞洲以本幣貶值、動用外匯儲備與高殖利率替代，降低美債需求，私人投資者比重升至約70%，加劇市場對美政策與赤字的不確定性。 Based on Bloomberg's exclusive analysis of U.S. Treasury data, Asian allies reduced net purchases of U.S. Treasuries to about $174.3 billion in the first eight months of 2026, the lowest since 2021.
