As I was researching Foreign Markets an article from Bloomberg Businessweek caught my attention. The article titled, "Demand for U.S. Assets Increases More Than Forecast (Update2)", was a breath of fresh air. After constantly hearing about the United States falling behind in Global Markets and China nearing the lead, it was nice to read a positive article about a demand for United States assets and global investment.
Investors in the United Kingdom, China and Japan all increased their holdings of U.S. treasuries. An increase has happened every month for the past several months. This is good news for the recovering United States economy. The investments show that other countries still have confidence in the United States and that the United States is still strong. After all, the United States is still the world's largest economy.
