Foreign U.S. Treasury Holdings Rise to $9.352 Trillion, Led by Japan and UK

Summary
$9.352 trillion in foreign U.S. Treasury holdings in April marked a slight increase from $9.348 trillion in March, Treasury Department data showed.
Japan and the UK drove the rise among overseas holders, extending demand from the two largest foreign owners of U.S. government debt.
Foreign-owned Treasuries were up 4% from a year earlier, indicating overseas demand has remained firm despite only a modest month-to-month gain.
The increase fits a broader April pattern in which foreigners were net buyers of U.S. securities, a key signal for investors tracking appetite for U.S. debt.
