Foreign cenbanks net sellers of US debt in week Thu Sep 14, 2006 4:30pm ET today.reuters.com NEW YORK, Sept 14 (Reuters) - Foreign central banks were net sellers of Treasury bonds last week, subtracting from their overall holdings of U.S. securities, Federal Reserve data showed on Thursday. The Fed said its holdings of Treasury and agency debt kept for overseas central banks fell by $3.52 billion in the week ended Sept. 13, to stand at a total of $1.68 trillion. The breakdown of custody holdings showed overseas central banks sold $6.01 billion in Treasury debt to stand at a total $1.14 trillion. However, foreign institutions bought securities from government-sponsored agencies like Fannie Mae (FNM.N: Quote, Profile, Research) and Freddie Mac (FRE.N: Quote, Profile, Research), adding $2.49 billion to their holdings, to stand at a total of $537.5 billion. Overseas central banks, particularly those in Asia, have been huge buyers of U.S. debt in recent years, and own over a quarter of marketable Treasuries.
