BOND MOVES: China, Japan, Hedge Funds & The Fed
Apparently taking advantage of the January jump in interest rates, foreign buying of US Treasuries picked up noticeably in February totaling $43.2b. That’s the biggest one month of purchases since May 2017. About $10b of that was from hedge funds as they fall under the ‘Cayman Islands’ locale. The Chinese added to their inventory of notes and bonds, buying $15b worth and net of their tbill holding runoff, they added a net $8.5b of Treasuries. The early 2017 bottom in buying coincided with a bottom in their FX reserves. Here is a chart of Chinese holdings.
