伊拉克總統：我認爲美國希望達成協議，以結束與伊朗的戰爭。

Global long-term sovereign yields have risen and bond selloff pressure has intensified, while China’s bond market and the yuan have remained relatively stable. As of Aug 21, 2026 cumulative panda bond issuance reached CNY 209.98 bln, up more than 73% YoY, amid increased onshore RMB funding by international institutions. Market contacts note foreign investors account for only about 5–8% of China’s bond market, leaving domestic investors with pricing dominance, and say China’s monetary policy remains domestically focused so external shocks are unlikely to reverse the domestic bond trend. Outlook: developed-market yields are likely to stay volatile, bolstering the allocation case for RMB bonds and potentially drawing sustained foreign inflows over the medium–long term; offsetting risks include higher US Treasury yields raising global allocation hurdles and possibly deterring foreign purchases of RMB bonds, and rapid rises in developed-market yields constraining domestic risk-asset valuations.
