title: The three largest foreign holders of US Treasuries all reduced their exposure in June.
description: "🇯🇵 Japan: sold $26B, cutting holdings from $1.143T to $1.117T.\n\n🇨🇳 China: sold another $26B, bringing its Treasury holdings down to just $633B — the lowest level since September 2008.\n\n🇬🇧 UK: holdings declined by $9B to $940B.\n\nBut the bigger story may be the collapse in foreign demand.\n\n📉 Total foreign holdings of US Treasury bonds and notes increased by just $6.8B in June, compared with $56.6B in May.\n\nAt a time when Washington needs to finance enormous deficits, its biggest foreign creditors are becoming increasingly reluctant buyers.\n\nMore supply. Less foreign demand. Higher yields? 👀\n\nSource: Bull Theory"
