Foreign holdings of US Treasuries climbed by $34.8 billion in January, reaching $9.31 trillion, according to Treasury Department data released Wednesday. The increase marked a rebound after December’s decline. Japan led the rise in demand, though specific country-level changes weren’t detailed. The surge came amid broader concerns about European investors’ appetite for US assets following geopolitical tensions. A Bloomberg Treasury market index showed minimal movement in January, contrasting December’s drop. The data reflects both net purchases and valuation adjustments during the month. The report follows heightened scrutiny of foreign demand for US debt, particularly after President Trump’s controversial remarks about Greenland sparked market uncertainty. Total foreign holdings remain near historic highs, underscoring sustained global reliance on US Treasuries despite periodic volatility in investor sentiment.
