Foreign Holdings of Treasuries Climb to Record High in June

Imagine the US government needs money, so they sell bonds to other countries.

In June, countries bought more of these bonds than ever before, like they were on sale.

The total amount held by these countries went up to a huge $9.13 trillion!

Some countries, like Britain and Belgium, bought a lot more, while others, like India, bought less.

This happened even though the value of the dollar went down a bit, meaning other countries were still eager to buy the bonds.

Now Japan, who is a huge investor, increased their investment, as did China.

This shows that other countries want to keep their money safe by investing in US government bonds.
