China Cuts Treasury Holdings to $590.7 Billion, Lowest Since August 2008

Dimly lit institutional bond trading desk before dawn with dark monitors showing softly blurred line graphs, a bank of brass multi-time-zone wall clocks mounted behind the desk, and a clear glass globe paperweight resting on polished dark wood under cool blue-grey light from tall arched windows.
