Investor Activity in Treasury ETFs: Significant inflows into long-dated U.S. Treasury ETFs occurred just before Moody's credit rating downgrade, with the iShares 20+ Year Treasury Bond ETF attracting $2.07 billion, indicating a strong interest despite underlying debt risks.
Market Response to Downgrade: Following the downgrade, market reactions were measured, with no panic selling observed; analysts suggest that while sentiment may be affected, regulatory frameworks still classify U.S. Treasuries as risk-free, maintaining their appeal as collateral and liquidity instruments.
