According to data from Clearwater Analytics Holdings Inc., since mid-January, the scale of US dollar forward contract purchases by US insurance companies has risen sharply, surpassing the peak set last year when the dollar fell after President Donald Trump announced "Liberation Day" tariffs. The Bloomberg Dollar Index has fallen 1.7% since 2026. "The dollar has experienced larger declines, but the trading activity of US insurance companies so far this year is noteworthy," said Matthew Vegari, head of research at Clearwater. "Corporates are hedging against further weakness, and their actions appear to be quite decisive." (Bloomberg)

According to data from the US Department of the Treasury, in the 12 months ending July this year, overseas investors made net purchases of US stocks totaling $942 billion, marking the highest rolling 12-month total since records began in 1985. The net purchases in the second quarter alone reached $426 billion, setting a new single-quarter record. Meanwhile, overseas demand for US Treasuries has noticeably cooled, with purchase volumes falling significantly. As a result, the US is facing higher costs in government debt financing.
