US Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent recently received a call from Deutsche Bank's chief executive, who was quick to downplay a circulating report suggesting that European investors might offload their US asset holdings. The CEO apparently wanted to distance the bank from the narrative gaining traction in financial circles about potential capital flight from American markets. This kind of pushback from a major financial institution hints at the market anxiety around international investor sentiment and the fragility of capital flows between regions. Given the current geopolitical and economic climate, such reassurances—or attempts at damage control—are becoming increasingly common among institutional players. The underlying concern is whether European institutional money will remain committed to US investments or seek safer, alternative havens elsewhere.
