If Treasuries were a 'safe haven' at $30T, what are they at $40T?
Market strategists question the safe-haven status of U.S. Treasuries as national debt hits $40T.

This surge has increased Treasury allocation in passive indexes, prompting active managers to reduce exposure. Experts suggest the government may intervene to cap ten-year yields at 5%.
