BGR, Earlie, and Mike I think the note about foreign central bank holdings of US bonds surging may not be accurate. I monitor the Fed balance sheet almost weekly. What I believe happened is that the Fed used to only report treasury holdings. They are now reporting foreign holdings of mortgage securities, corporates etc... That I believe accounts for the 100 billion dollar surge in the grand total. It was not clear what the source of that 100 billion number was, but it it's the Fed's balance sheet... Wayne
