Zero Hedge: Saudis, China Dump Treasuries; Foreign Central Banks Liquidate A Record $375 Billion In US Paper

One month ago, when we last looked at the Fed's update of Treasuries held in custody, we noted something troubling: the number had dropped sharply, declining by over $22 billion in one week, one of the the biggest weekly declines since January 2015, pushing the total amount of custodial paper to $2.805 trillion, the lowest since 2012.

However, this has been going down for a year.
