Japan resumed its selling after a temporary respite in May and they hold the smallest amount of longer term Treasuries since October 2011.

Bottom line, foreign flows in the US Treasury market is just not what it used to be and is now no higher than it was 3 years ago.

After falling to the lowest level since March 2016 last month, the overall 6 month outlook rebounded by 10 pts. Capital spending plans though fell for a 2nd month and there has been no notable acceleration in capital spending plans in both this survey, the NY one and what was seen in the NFIB small business data. Noteworthy was the 6 month outlook for Prices Received and it rose to the highest level since July 1988.

Inflation Worries Continue To Remain Elevated

Bottom Line
Bottom line, the Philly survey was in stark contrast to the NY region. We have to be on the lookout for the implications of slowing overseas growth along with the stronger US dollar, offsetting the better performance domestically.
