[Amundi buys two-year U.S. Treasury bonds to hedge against the risk of slowing economic growth] September 14th, Europe's largest asset management company Amundi SA is looking for opportunities in the global bond market that has been sold off recently and bought two-year U.S. Treasury bonds to hedge against the risk of slowing economic growth caused by high oil prices. Nicolas Dahan, senior portfolio manager for global bonds and foreign exchange at the Paris-based company that manages $2.8 trillion in assets, said rising bond yields and energy prices could pose risks to a U.S. economy that has so far shown resilience. If the economic slowdown forces the Fed to reconsider its tightening path, the yield on the two-year Treasury note, which is most sensitive to changes in interest rates, could fall.
