BRICS Nations China, India and Brazil Dump $28,800,000,000 in US Treasuries As JPMorgan Chase Forecast ‘Net Bearish’ on US Dollar

India led the pack, cutting its holdings of US treasuries by $12 billion while China reduced its US debt by $11.8 billion. Brazil, on the other hand, scaled down its US treasury holdings by $5 billion in October.
