Short-term US debt under pressure on default fears

U.S. short-term debt came under heavy pressure on Thursday as borrowing costs reached an 11-month high, and one analyst believes that investors should be warned that this volatility could spread into other assets markets.

"Take a look at the very short end of the U.S. Treasury curve and you see panic," Kathleen Brooks, a research director at Forex.com said in a research note on Thursday afternoon.

"The prospect of a default in the world's richest economy may sound preposterous, but investors are starting to price in the unexpected. It is worth keeping an eye on the very short end of the Treasury curve, as further nervousness here could spill into other markets."
