DW NOTE
Norway's $1.7 trillion fund holds $375 billion in US Treasuries — more than any other sovereign wealth fund. A reduction now, with the 10-year at 4.79% and the Fed signaling a September hike into a 189-day oil blockade, is not portfolio rebalancing. It is a country with oil revenue writing down American credit risk while Washington runs a $1.4 trillion deficit and mines float in the Persian Gulf.
