Plays the chart through its history. Pauses are where a new leader takes first place.

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.

The countries whose residents hold the most U.S. stocks, from the Treasury’s monthly TIC data. Financial centres top the list because holdings are recorded where the custodian sits.
