Several months ago, we talk specifically about why countries were dumping U.S. Treasury bonds and U.S. debt as a whole. As we continued our process of reviewing what countries were continuing to sell off U.S. Treasury bonds and who is currently the biggest buyer.

Even though these are small countries, the buying does not match the amount that's currently being sold. The concern is now that the bigger countries are continuing to dump U.S. Treasuries. Japan our ally, Russia, and China have continued to reduce U.S. Treasury holdings for the last 90 days.

It means that the global reduction of U.S. currency continues. And according to the International Monetary Fund, the share of national currencies globally in the central banks and the reserves have continued to decline to about 62 percent in the second quarter of this year.
