U.S. Treasury International Capital data. Holdings are attributed to the country where the custodian or investor reporting them sits, so financial centres such as the Cayman Islands, Luxembourg and Ireland stand in for investors elsewhere. Market value: holdings rise and fall with U.S. share prices. Shares are a Palanor calculation.
