ROW Trends: Long on US Equities, Less Focus on Treasuries
According to coverage by the FT, international capital is increasingly pivoting away from debt instruments in favor of American stocks. During the 12 months leading up to July, foreign investors accumulated a record $942bn in net purchases of US equities and investment fund shares. This impressive movement of funds highlights an accelerating shift in overseas investment strategies. Furthermore, historical Treasury data dating back to 1985 reveals that these recent flows constitute the highest rolling 12-month total ever documented.
