“Is China quietly dumping US Treasuries?”
by The Telegraph   
October 1st, 2007

Data released by the New York Federal Reserve shows that foreign central banks have cut their stash of US Treasuries by $48 billion since late July, with falls of $32 billion in the last two weeks alone. “This comes as a big surprise and it is definitely worrying,” said Hans Redeker, currency chief at BNP Paribas.
