Foreign residents decreased their holdings of long-term U.S. securities in June — net sales were $11.5 billion. Net sales by private foreign investors were $23.0 billion, and net purchases by foreign official institutions were $11.5 billion. At the same time, U.S. residents decreased their holdings of long-term foreign securities, with net sales of $15.2 billion.
Taking into account transactions in both foreign and U.S. securities, the net foreign purchases of long-term securities were $3.7 billion. After adjustments, such as estimates of unrecorded principal payments to foreigners on U.S. asset-backed securities, are included, the overall net foreign acquisition of long-term securities is estimated to have been negative $8.0 billion in June.
Foreign holdings of all dollar-denominated short-term U.S. securities and other custody liabilities decreased $14.7 billion.
