NEW YORK, Jan 15 (Reuters) - Foreign holdings of U.S. Treasuries hit record highs in November, rising after two straight months of declines as market sentiment improved after the U.S. federal government ended the longest-ever shutdown in history.
Holdings of U.S. Treasuries rose to an all-time peak of $9.355 trillion in November, up from October's $9.243 trillion, data from the Treasury Department showed on Thursday. Compared with a year earlier, Treasuries owned by foreigners were up 7.2% in November.
