BRICS: US Risks Losing $7.5 Trillion Worth of Asian Assets
The BRICS alliance and all Asian countries combined have an investment worth $7.5 trillion in US assets, including bonds. For decades, the global financial gameplay was simple and very easy to understand. Asia had an effortless strategy where they sold goods to the US, and in return, invested the proceeds into American financial assets. Things are now changing under the Trump administration after the US President mended the smooth flow of global trade.

The unwinding of the $7.5 trillion has already started on a smaller scale, said some of the world’s biggest money managers to Bloomberg. The money managers revealed that if the US fails to stop the outflow, the future would be bleak.
BRICS: $7.5 Trillion Asian Assets Sell-Off Could Shake the US Markets

“We are in a shifting world order and I do not believe that we will go back to the state of things as we had before,” said Virginie Maisonneuve, Chief Investment Officer at Allianz Global Investors. “It is an evolution from the World War Two order and is partially triggered by China rivaling the US in economic and technology terms,’’ he said. If BRICS and Asian countries pull the plug on the $7.5 trillion investments on Treasuries and bonds, the US could fall flat on its knees.
