US owes Rs 20000000000000 to India, even global superpowers rely on foreign loans for..., Japan and China also India's debtors
US owes Rs 20000000000000 to India, even global superpowers rely on foreign loans for..., Japan and China also India's debtors India has invested nearly Rs. 20 lakh crore in US Treasury Bonds, a decision that plays a key role not just in supporting the American economy but also in strengthening India's own financial stability. At first glance, it might seem surprising. After all, the United States has a national debt of more than USD 34 trillion. Yet, it continues to be the world's most powerful economy. One of the main reasons behind this is the global trust in the U.S. dollar and the American government's ability to repay its debts. The US borrows money from other countries by issuing Treasury Bonds, Bills, and Securities. These are essentially loan documents that promise to pay back the borrowed money with interest over time. Many countries, including India, buy these bonds as a way to safely invest their foreign currency reserves. China and Japan are among the biggest holders of US Treasury Bonds. Japan holds nearly USD 1 trillion worth, while China owns over USD 800 billion in American bonds. These investments offer them a steady return and help them manage their own economic strategies. India, too, sees U.S. Treasury Bonds as a reliable investment. The interest earned from these bonds contributes to India's foreign exchange reserves. These reserves are crucial for handling imports, stabilizing the rupee, and ensuring the country's financial security. Even though the U.S. pays millions of dollars in interest every day, the strength of the dollar in the global economy keeps its borrowing power intact. Countries across the world continue to see U.S. bonds as one of the safest places to invest their money. In return, India earns a fixed income from these investments, which is both low-risk and helpful in building long-term economic resilience. It's a financial strategy that quietly but effectively contributes to India's global economic standing. So while India's investment in U.S. Treasury Bonds might not make daily headlines, it plays a silent and steady role in shaping the country's economic future.

‘Trump is trying to break us': What to expect from Mark Carney, Canada's new PM
In today's CEO Daily: Diane Brady has a cheat sheet on the new Canadian PM Mark Carney. The big story: It's Trump's 100th day in office. The markets: Eerie calm. Analyst notes from JPMorgan on Apple and tariffs, UBS on Trump and taxes, Goldman Sachs on equities, and Macquarie on Trump's next 100 days. Plus: All the news and watercooler chat from Fortune. Good morning. As Donald Trump hits his 100th day in office today, here's one accomplishment he can clearly claim: swaying the outcome of Canada's national election. 'Trump loomed large in mobilizing Canadians around the Liberals,' Nik Nanos, a pollster and chief data scientist at Ottawa-based Nanos Research told me last night. 'The Liberals were on their political deathbed in the opening of 2024. Under Mark Carney, they have formed another government.' Here's what business leaders should know about the new prime minister of Canada, where $2.5 billion in trade crosses the border every day. Carney won on an anti-Trump platform. The former central banker entered the race to defend Canada against Trump's tariffs and other threats, calling himself 'useful in a crisis.' Although new to politics, he's a familiar face in the corridors of power, having served as governor of both the Bank of Canada and the Bank of England. Faced with threats from the brash and boastful U.S. President, Canadians rejected a Trump-like candidate in favor of a more measured approach and a clear message that they won't back down. He understands the power of money. He's talked about the structural risks of U.S. dollar dominance at Jackson Hole and understands the power of buying and selling U.S. Treasury Bonds, especially as a foreign holder of that debt. He wants to diversify Canada's trading relationships. When your closest ally is making enemies, there's no better time to make friends. Along with having a close relationship with Britain, he has made moves to forge stronger ties with Europe and other regions. He is committed to climate action and other causes not being discussed in Washington. A former U.N. special envoy for climate action and finance and the former head of impact investing at Brookfield Asset Management, Carney believes climate change is real and wants Canada to take the lead in developing green technologies. He was combative in victory last night but is better known for his charm. "President Trump is trying to break us so that America can own us, that will never, ever happen," he said in his victory speech. "We are over the shock of the American betrayal, we have to take care of each other." But during his time as a central banker he was best-known as a smooth diplomatic operator who could forge relationships with anyone he needed to. In the long run, this is the version of Carney—not the fighter—that is likely to characterize his premiership. More news below.

YouTuber Paffrath's ETF Closure: 'I Took on Too Much'
An ETF managed by YouTube financial personality Kevin Paffrath is closing, in part, after Paffrath bet that interest rates would continue falling, and he says, after overextending himself with real estate and other projects. The Meet Kevin Pricing Power ETF (PP), with $34.5 million in assets, will liquidate by Feb. 28, according to a statement from Tidal Financial Group, which issued the exchange-traded fund in November 2022 under its previous name Toroso. The fund, started with $500,000, performed well initially thanks partly to Paffrath's ability to reach more than two million YouTube subscribers, as well as bets on Apple Inc. (AAPL) and Tesla Inc. (TSLA) In a video posted Feb. 11, Paffrath said assets soared to around $50 million. After a September interest rate cut, Paffrath bet on falling interest rates. The Direxion Daily 20+ Year Treasury Bull 3X Shares (TMF), a high-risk fund that aims to provide outsized returns on bets on U.S. Treasury Bonds, replaced tech companies as PP's top holding with a nearly 16% allocation. Interest rates have climbed, crushing Paffrath's bets. PP's price was unchanged over the past year, compared with a 22% gain in the SPDR S&P 500 ETF Trust (SPY). The father of seven, whose website lists his real estate companies and educational courses along with photos of him with a Tesla Cybertruck and a private jet, said in a tweet that he had overextended himself. 'I took on too much,' he wrote on X, saying his priorities are his family, YouTube classes and his HouseHack business. 'I made a mistake expanding into too much too quickly.' He said he lost a personal investment of around $1 million due to fees, lawyers and other costs associated with running the fund. Paffrath also cited interference from his partners without mentioning Tidal or other firms. He said the partners' rules forbade him from doing things like boosting the size of his bets on Tesla, and they also didn't execute trades as quickly as he would have | © Copyright 2025 All rights reserved Sign in to access your portfolio
