Context

This deterioration reflects a notable retreat in private capital investment, which could imply reduced confidence among foreign investors and might impact the USD's strength as it suggests a potential waning interest in US assets, particularly as long-term flows also contracted. Increased foreign holdings of US Treasuries could offset this concern slightly, but the overall trend points toward caution in the capital markets.
