S1E30_Declining Dollar Levels Off as China Holds Treasury Notes
Manage episode 273245732 series 2797332
One week after Japan sold off one trillion dollars’ worth of U S Treasury notes, Beijing announced that China would continue to hold its existing U S Treasury notes as a sign of support for the U S dollar.
