Foreign holdings of US treasuries and equities - plenty to move the markets if they start selling


http://sg.biz.yahoo.com/060428/3/40g1a.html

"foreign portfolio holdings showed total foreign holdings rising to US$6.863 trillion at June 30, 2005 "

Long term debt holdings had grown to $4.118 trillion
Equity investments increased to $2.143 trillion

I guess that means that

Short term debt holdings by foreigners was $0.607 trillion.
