title: Foreign holdings of US Treasuries have jumped by $2.6 TRILLION over the last decade.
description: "Europe’s Treasury holdings have risen by $1.5 trillion with the rest of the world acquiring $1.7 trillion of bonds.\nOn the other hand, China and Japan's holdings have shrunk by ~$500 and ~$100 billion, respectively.\nOverall, total foreign holdings as a share of outstanding federal debt have dropped from 35% to 24%, near the lowest level in 18 years.\nThis is the consequence of rapidly rising public debt with the supply of Treasuries rising ~$15 trillion over the last decade. \nForeign demand for Treasuries cannot keep up with skyrocketing US debt.\n\nSource: The Kobeissi Letter"
