In contrast, the 10-year U.S. Treasury yield has hovered around 1.65%-1.75%, even with the recent climb.<\/p>\n<p>&quot;I think in this part of the cycle, China fixed income feels to be in (a) sweet spot,&quot; Wee told CNBC&#x27;s &quot;Street Signs Asia.&quot;<\/p>\n<p>&quot;The China bond market did sell off last year and that was on the back of better economics, first-in-first-out of the crisis &#8230; China&#x27;s clearly, I think, way ahead in terms of having dealt with Covid and is now dealing with some of the structural issues like debt overhang, trying to invigorate consumption etc,&quot; he said.<\/p>\n<p>China was the first country to report the coronavirus outbreak, and the only major economy to have grown last year when it reported a 2.3% year-on-year expansion. In contrast, the U.S. economy contracted by 3.5% in 2020 compared to a year ago, according to estimates from the Bureau of Economic Analysis.<\/p>\n<p>Prospects of better growth rates \u2014 and a pick-up in inflation \u2014 drove U.S. Treasury yields higher in recent weeks, narrowing the gap with their Chinese counterparts.<\/p>\n<h2>China&#x27;s &#x27;prudence&#x27;\u00a0<\/h2>\n<p>Still, China&#x27;s fiscal and monetary &quot;prudence&quot; adds to the attractiveness of government bonds there, said Daryl Ho,<strong> <\/strong>an investment strategist from Singapore bank DBS.<\/p>\n<p>&quot;China exemplified fiscal prudence by being one of the first economies to hold back further prodigal spending and embarked on deleveraging efforts to curtail systemic debt accumulation,&quot; Ho said in a Thursday note.<\/p>\n<p>&quot;This position is expected to carry all through 2021 as the economy recovers further, in stark contrast to countries that must continue with profligate spending due to inferior viral management outcomes,&quot; he added.<\/p>\n<p>On the monetary front, Chinese policymakers have started tightening policy \u2014 going &quot;against the grain of dovish policies globally,&quot; said Ho.<\/p>\n<p>With both fiscal and monetary policy still loose in the U.S., the Chinese yuan could appreciate, said the strategist. That would help investors safeguard the higher yields on Chinese bonds from currency volatility, added Ho.<\/p>\n<p>Source: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cnbc.com\/2021\/03\/29\/chinas-government-bonds-are-in-a-sweet-spot-after-sell-off-says-portfolio-manager.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Read Full Article<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>China&#x27;s government bonds are in a &quot;sweet<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":118793,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[23054],"tags":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v21.7 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>China\u2019s government bonds are in a \u2018sweet spot&#x27;
