I'd like to locate a chart of it, but the yoy rate of foreign custodials is starting to drop off, now 229,545 B, or 4.41 billion a week. They had been running close to six billion, so there is a recent sea change taking place. As you indicate January was less than three billion a week, and nothing the last two. And for anybody who doubts the impact of foreign central banks on US interest rates, their pullback has really been showing up in the short term bonds yields that they tend to favor. Interestinly the Fed has not been monetizing during the last two months.
