The Treasury International Capital data, which shows US inflows and outflows, showed a massive net long-term inflow of $126.8 bln in November versus a 19.3 bln outflow in September. The data should cool fears that central banks are no longer willing to fund US deficits.
EUR/USD has fallen back to 1.4272.
Were you surprised from that data? I wonder if they are seeing potential weakness in EM coming?
You know the number is very close to Nov 08 figures…
Same trend in Canada data..fwiw….http://www.statcan.gc.ca/daily-quotidien/100118/dq100118a-eng.htm
a bit late on this, but I just got around reading the report, it appears private investers pick up the purchase more than the CBs:
“Net foreign purchases of long-term U.S. securities were $129.3 billion. Of this, net purchases by private foreign investors were $96.0 billion, and net purchases by foreign official institutions were $33.3 billion. ”
Another interesting point is that while the long term purchase increase the short-term holding decreases:
“Foreign holdings of dollar-denominated short-term U.S. securities, including Treasury bills, and other custody liabilities decreased $27.2 billion. Foreign holdings of Treasury bills decreased $18.9 billion.”
not sure all this entail…
