According to @KobeissiLetter, Denmark’s holdings of US Treasuries have dropped to about $9 billion, the lowest level in 14 years. According to @KobeissiLetter, the country reduced its position by roughly $4 billion over the last year, about 30%. According to @KobeissiLetter, holdings are now more than half below the 2016 peak, signaling a continued drawdown in this foreign holder’s UST exposure.

According to @KobeissiLetter, foreign official US Treasuries held in Federal Reserve custody fell to $2.78 trillion in October, the lowest level since 2012 (source: @KobeissiLetter). Foreign official holdings in Fed custody have decreased by $166 billion since March and are down $356 billion from the 2021 peak, indicating weakening foreign demand for US debt and increased diversification away from US Dollar assets (source: @KobeissiLetter). Gold has been a key beneficiary of this rotation, consistent with reserve managers diversifying away from US debt (source: @KobeissiLetter). Traders should monitor US Treasury yield moves and gold flows for positioning as this decline in official custody holdings underscores softer marginal demand for Treasuries and shifting reserve preferences (source: @KobeissiLetter).

According to The Kobeissi Letter, foreign countries' share of US sovereign debt has decreased to approximately 33%, the lowest in 25 years, prompting a rise in gold prices and a fall in US bond prices. This percentage reflects a 22-point drop since the 2008 Financial Crisis, as foreigners continue to sell US Treasuries.

According to @KobeissiLetter, foreign holdings of US Treasuries experienced a significant decline of $49.7 billion in December 2024, marking the largest drop since March 2021. This follows a $30.0 billion reduction in November, indicating a continued trend of foreign investors divesting from US federal debt. This consecutive selling trend could impact USD liquidity and influence Treasury yields, which are crucial for traders monitoring interest rate movements.
