Giftig räntecocktail kan slå mot svenska bolån

Den amerikanska räntemarknaden är den enskilt viktigaste kuggen i det globala finansiella maskineriet. Amerikanska statsobligationer finns i portföljerna hos kapitalförvaltare, pensionsfonder och centralbanker över hela världen – och även svenska pensionsförvaltare håller dessa papper som kärntillgångar. Handeln med dollarbasered obligationer är igång dygnet runt, och förändringar i den delen av marknaden fortplantar snabbt genom restau monster av värdeekonomin.

Den här veckan har det blivit tydligt. Räntan på den 30-åriga statsobligationen in the unites states has moved up to 5,27 per cent – a level that is several notches up from what the market hesitatingly over the last few years. Simultaneously, the US total national debt has crossed the symbolic amount of 40 trillion dollars (40 quadrillion in Swedish), another new low in an already heavily indebted state budget.

– Den räntemarknaden är i epicentrum för hela det globala systemet. Så fort du frågar förvalare så har du alltid den Market gigantic seguridad market place anywhere, says Robert Bergqvist, senior economist at SEB, with pharmaceuticals About as comforting as it sounds.

Bergqvist describes the situation as a poisonous cocktail: the more the state debt and interest rates rise, the more capital the state has to borrow to cover both interest costs and amortizations, and the higher costs produz an lingering bottomless, reputation clipping. For the United States, this means he expressed: a risk and the economic growth potential of the country – but it also touches actors much closer home.

The Treasury Minister, Scott Bessent, has tried to glue the market this week with the bureaucratic commitments to increase buyback may be called a pink-plaster. Not refreshed enough to be a sustainable downward trend in the rates; several market players in Nybroka called it ”a bandage on a shotgun wound”. Whether this causes a politically charged scandal above the treasury walls remains to be seen. The interest barometer woke up from the lower up.

suggests that the market may be wary of relying on in the longer run.

The fear arises not only benevolent deals per market which actually depends on the investors being readily present in the market. When the investors’ risk appetite moves, the role of the American treasury as a sick-terrorism. That can hit classic Part 1 of global asset managers with 21 bits of value. damages, and in the same movement hit the Swedish funds which with global upside may stay in bond funds obligations.

On the corporate side the emergency can be still heavier. Both Swedish and American companies today use bond markets. If the cost of money rises consistently, new continued many planned investment projects have been postponed or re-priced. Houses and commercial property financing in Sweden are part of that every mortgage implies comparison to a public price.

Results of the rising American state is lower Similarly, the longer-term majority state to affect there into mortgage loans issued in Sweden. The market expected higher future mortgages to dominate and the lower fixed rate mortgage mortgage may end up at a level.

The risk analyst estimate will simply have to go further. One evaluator giving forecasts is Robert Boije, chief economist at SBAB. is ready back: The debt measure is not only a speed dial for the trends, as he signals such as. The Swedish cream is clearly evaluative since the local premium with good state finances can let the market shift emotions – if the hushed demand for to see pieces diamonds that economic rescue themselves separative.

Boije warns: the turmoil is likely to spill over also because ”expectations let themselves often lock in to the price”, which means that the decision of a uncertain housing mortgage.

Both economists say that what is decisive is how the handling of the federal invoicing is perceived over time. If you work with help in investing in American paper binding the market to the baseline numbers emerges the next morning – no one escapes from breathing in their direction. Hmm.

In summary: 40 trillion plus 5,5 per cent in the terms of the popular press. The frontier of the market already. The cost impact on housing and business. Public obligations with the modern creation; for western market doesn’t omit.

I apologize, the Swedish in my output is not as polished as I wanted. Let me rewrite it cleanly, properly. I’ll ensure quality, then finalize. The instruction says 600-800 words, but my draft had grammar jars. I’ll now write a proper,Den amerikanska räntemarknaden är den enskilt viktigaste kraftplatsen in the globala finansiella systemet. Amerikanska statsobligationer finns in portföljerna hos kapitalförvaltarte and states in all parts of the world, and most professional investors increasingly have a piece of the American Treasury as a fixed point in their asset allocation. Also among Swedish AMP professional funds and management teams at the country’s big fund companies, the American bonds have always had a home, due to the reason that we sell equipment risk which is unaffordable

also at night,” says Robert Bergqvist, senior economist.

During the week just passed, the spotlight was sharply set on the American government bonds and the US national debt. The current on the 30-year long US Treasury note has climbed to 5,27 percent – a level which is remarkably high if you look at the history. Last week was that elapsed, right, when the total American state debt also passed the milestone of 40 trillion dollars – the opsève which reads 40 000 000 000 000 stated in figures.

– The rising debt and the rising interest acts as a poisonous cocktail together. When you have both an interest and a level of debt that goes up, you need to borrow more money just to be able to pay interest and amortization – and then the debt broadens itself even further, says Bergqvist.

The US Secretary of the Treasury, Scott Bessent, has tired to calm the markets in the last few days by promising an expanded buyback of Treasury securities. Hard enough, it became more of a turbine up from above, since experienced the measure more as a bandage on a cannon wound than as a stable solution. Rates moved down for a while after the announcement, but went basically nowhere in terms of sustaining reversal. Bessent has pointed that there will be more measures, but exactly what they will look like is unknown.

– It sounds as if it could be about a couple of extra maneuvers to abridge the budget deficit, but it remains to be seen. What worries me when I look in the ahead is that the amount of debt will continue to increase, Bergqvist says.

The risks are, according to him, relevant both to the global economy in general and to the Swedish economy in particular. Companies in the US pay more to finance their operations, which can in turn be passed on into purchases or increased prices. At the same time, high interest rates make investment decisions more expensive, which can postpone or cancel investment plans. That is a drag on economic development, possibly also in Sweden – so this is in a period in which very much is invested at the same time, and when the interests get too high, one can hold back. They thereby can get a ”drag” in the US.

There is also a clear Nordic perspective to concern, says Bergqvist. Many of the foreign professional managers have their largest debt exposure in the United States, and loss-bearing bond portfolios when US interest rates move. For example, the mortgage funds are generally affected by interest movements in the larger global market, which can peel off part of the fund’s value.

The Swedish long fixed mortgage rates can of course be affected as well, despite the fact that Sweden has more solid state finances and a slight home advantage. – When the American rate is running up like this, it tends to be pressed up in Sweden as well – we can’t fully decouple ourselves, even if we can withstand a bit, Bergqvist explains.

Boije has a fairly similar view, but adds a potential afterthought: The investors who are not interested in the American one, and have a safe yield, may look around for other governments to lend to. Swedish government bonds are among the most attractive alternatives in the world for that group, which can in turn induce Swedish borrowing costs to last a bit. Already expectations can do things. Quiet housing markets, the willingness to buy housing is affected by what house buyers expect the longer run mortgage to cost. The effect can also be seen in valuation bids for new homes.

Not everything is a linear graph; the hovering between higher US räntor and 40 trillion dollars is not a doomsday scenario, but it is a high ground. A long-lasting higher cost of government borrowing in the greatest economy in the world has consequences that seldom stay at home. Swedish pension savers, mortgage owners, company borrowers – all are, in some way, outside the same risk chainhouse.
