Swedish pension fund Alecta has divested most of its US Treasury holdings, according to DI; has sold SEK 70-80bln worth of Treasuries

• Alecta confirmed it has sold "the majority of its holdings" and refers to increased risk and unpredictability in US politics.

Alecta's divestment of a significant portion of its US Treasury holdings signals heightened concerns regarding the stability of US politics, which could influence the perception of risk among investors. This move may foster nervousness in the fixed income market, potentially leading to a rise in yields as demand for Treasuries decreases. Given the size of the divestment, it also raises questions about broader capital flight from US assets in response to political uncertainties.
