How China Could Devastate the American Housing Market
About this episode
Mortgage rates are spiking—but the real danger isn’t just the Fed. It’s China. In this episode, we break down how the global selloff in U.S. Treasuries, triggered by President Trump’s tariff policy, is rattling confidence in America’s debt. But the bigger threat? China and other foreign nations are major holders of U.S. mortgage-backed securities—and they may start dumping them. If they do, it could send mortgage rates soaring and derail the spring housing market just as it’s trying to recover. We unpack the financial fallout already in motion, and what it means for your wallet.
