Japan's holdings of overseas securities fell $75.6 billion in May from April, implying the government sold foreign assets, including US Treasuries, to help finance last month's record foreign-exchange intervention. Finance Ministry data showed foreign reserves dropped to $1.09 trillion at end-May, while foreign-currency deposits — another potential funding source — were largely unchanged at $162 billion. Separately, intervention in the month through May 28 totaled a record ¥11.73 trillion (about $73.4 billion).(金十数据)
