As of March 31, 2026, foreign central banks have significantly decreased their holdings of US Treasuries, a trend attributed to the ongoing geopolitical situation in Iran.
The latest figures show that these international official holdings have reached a low not seen since 2012, suggesting a potential shift in global investment strategies.
