In a recent address at the Mortgage Bankers Association conference, New York Federal Reserve President John Williams addressed investor concerns regarding potential divestments of U.S. assets. Despite market volatility and global financial tensions, Williams expressed confidence in the stability of the U.S. economy and its position as a key investment destination. 2025’s early months saw investors adjust strategies, with some considering selling U.S. holdings. However, Williams emphasized that no significant divestments have been observed. He highlighted this stability by noting that Treasury bond market activity remains steady despite the changes in investor sentiment. The New York Fed President also noted the resilience of the U.S. economy and its attractiveness as a safe haven amid global financial uncertainty. The Fed has maintained a slightly restrictive rate policy to closely observe market dynamics, with Williams’ comments aligning with previously expressed sentiments from Vice Chair Philip Jefferson regarding economic prediction challenges. Williams underscored America’s technological strengths and their role in attracting global investment despite trade tensions.
