Highlights
Net foreign purchases of long-term U.S. securities jumped back in October, to $114.0 billion vs. a tiny $15.4 billion in September and against August's jolting outflow of $70.5 billion. The data show renewed foreign interest in U.S. stocks, at a net inflow of about $30 billion, and increased interest in Treasury notes and bonds at a net inflow of nearly $50 billion to double September's inflow. Data on short-term securities showed a net gain of $97.8 billion, a big contrast to credit-squeeze contractions of $32.8 billion in September and $150.8 billion in August. Currency markets showed no initial reaction to the data which however are a big plus for the dollar and all U.S. assets. The data suggest that global financial conditions are returning to normal and that the weak dollar is not yet constricting foreign investment.
