Foreign holdings of US treasuries have dropped almost 7% since early September. $647 billion then, to $603 billion this week.

If we keep operating near flat on the budget we may be able to survive a pullout of funds by the Japanese. It would help if the stock market turned weak and people started looking to bonds as a safe haven.

Of course if they began re-patrioting and it did cause a runup in interest rates, we would have one heckuva triple top in bonds.

Still I can't help but think that any runup in rates would be short lived in a deflating world.
