Yiwu, This <$30.8 billion was the net reserve from the US only bet. only Sept. 03 and July 04.> still seems low. Why? Because the USD holdings within the foreign reserves should be in rough proportion to USD trade. Since USD trade is over 1/3, I thought USD holdings would be in the neghborhood of $100m. I know your data has US trade but it is the denomination if the trade (USD, Euro, Pound, Yen) and not the country. David
