Abstrakt: The article discusses that the global dash for cash amid the worsening COVID-19 pandemic led to selling pressures across advanced-economy sovereign bond markets, causing market disruptions in March 2020. The authors emphasize that these disruptions were more pronounced and broad-based in the US Treasury market due to differences in leverage dynamics, leading to a heavier buildup of leverage and catalyzing more deleveraging during the COVID-19 shock compared to other sovereign bond markets.
