    TREASURY INTERNATIONAL CAPITAL DATA FOR JULY

    WASHINGTON – The U.S. Department of the Treasury today released Treasury International Capital (TIC) data for July 2009. The next release, which will report on data for August 2009, is scheduled for October 16, 2009.

    Net foreign purchases of long-term securities were $15.3 billion.

    Net foreign purchases of long-term U.S. securities were $44.0 billion. Of this, net purchases by private foreign investors were $32.1 billion, and net purchases by foreign official institutions were $12.0 billion.

    U.S. residents purchased a net $28.8 billion of long-term foreign securities.
    Net foreign acquisition of long-term securities, taking into account adjustments, is estimated to have been negative $7.4 billion.

    Foreign holdings of dollar-denominated short-term U.S. securities, including Treasury bills, and other custody liabilities decreased $4.5 billion. Foreign holdings of Treasury bills increased $14.4 billion.

    Banks' own net dollar-denominated liabilities to foreign residents decreased $85.7 billion.

    Monthly net TIC flows were negative $97.5 billion. Of this, net foreign private flows were negative $131.3 billion, and net foreign official flows were $33.8 billion."(snip)


    This brief overview clearly shows that, while foreign governments are still actively buying US T Bonds and other US dollar denominated securities, 'private' foreign investors are running for the exits.

    Only makes sense. I would too in favor of selecting the most underpriced securities.
    I loved going to strip clubs; I actually made some friends there. Now things are different for the clubs and for me. As a result I am not as happy.

    Customers are not entitled to grope, disrespect, or rob strippers. This is their job, not their hobby, and they all need income. Clubs are not just some erotic show for guys to view while drinking.

    NOTE: anything I post here, outside of a direct quote, is my opinion only, which I am entitled to. Take it for what you estimate it is worth.
