Saudi Arabia’s 🇸🇦 US Treasury holdings fell to a more than six-year low in June. Saudi Arabia, the largest Middle East holder of US gov’t debt, sold more than $3 billion of its shares in June. This brought down Riyadh’s total holdings to $108.1 billion, the lowest since December 2016. The Saudi sovereign wealth fund’s disclosed holdings of US 🇺🇸-traded stocks rose almost 10% in value to about $39 billion in the second quarter.
Historically Saudi Arabia used to keep most of its reserves in US Treasuries , but with the country’s diversification strategy Vision 2030 backed by the country’s sovereign wealth fund results in investments being redirected domestically. Oil revenues, are fueling these projects.
Saudi Arabia’s cut in oil production through OPEC has hindered the US from re-filling its Strategic Petroleum Reserve as oil prices have increased. Closer ties between China and the Middle East have raised concerns in Washington DC 🇺🇸 and European 🇪🇺 capitals after Saudi Arabia signed $10 billion worth of investment agreements with Chinese 🇨🇳companies in June.
The UAE 🇦🇪 offloaded $4 billion worth of US treasury bonds in June, making it the second consecutive month the country sold US government debt. Its holding fell to $65.2 billion from $69 billion in May 2023. Kuwait 🇰🇼 shares of the US debt instrument fell to $40.6 billion in June from $41.4 billion in May. However, much this was off-set by Japan 🇯🇵 increasing US Treasury purchases for June.
China 🇨🇳, the second-biggest holder of US debt, has reduced its stake to the lowest level in more than 14 years. It now holds about $850 billion of US debt, lower than its all-time high of over $1.2 trillion.
