Is China hiding its true exposure to US Treasuries? China’s Treasury holdings fell -$27 billion in August, to $591 billion, their lowest level since August 2008. At the same time, Canada’s holdings of US Treasuries jumped +$38 billion in August, to $465 billion, their 3rd-highest on record. Since the beginning of 2019, Canada’s holdings have surged +$369 billion, or +384%, while China’s have declined -$534 billion, or -48%. This divergence may partly reflect China moving its US securities to foreign custodians, making its actual exposure to American debt appear smaller and creating the impression of faster financial decoupling from the US Dollar. Meanwhile, Belgium and Luxembourg, widely believed to hold some Chinese Treasury assets through custodial accounts, increased their Treasury holdings by +$20 billion and +$6 billion in August, to all-time highs of $491 billion and $448 billion, respectively. China’s diversification away from the US Dollar may be slower than it appears.

Lula da Silva’s party has posted a message stating that more arrests of opposition figures are coming in the next few hours. In this instance, it concerns Senator Deltan Dallagnol. The situation unfolding in Brazil is extremely serious; it is likely that all opposition figures will be imprisoned.

Flávio Bolsonaro says he was ordered to hand over his passports after 'losing' the runoff election in Brazil. Bolsonaro says he went to visit his imprisoned father, who is the former president of Brazil, and was confronted by "Lula's Federal Police." "I went to visit my father... As I was leaving, Lula’s Federal Police were at his front door, and right there in the middle of the street." "I was served an order to surrender my passports; I am also prohibited from leaving the country..." "This is a sign that our democracy has failed..." "I will surrender my passports and defend myself against this travesty, which is a clear attempt to intimidate me. But no one will silence me..." Bolsonaro is calling for the election to be annulled following a last-minute voting extension made by Lula's former personal attorney. The New York Times reports that confusion over Justice Cristiano Zanin's last-minute voting extension could lead to the election being annulled. When Zanin made the last-minute decision to extend voting hours, some polling stations had already closed and shut down their voting machines. They could not reopen. "Fernando Neisser, an electoral law professor at Fundação Getulio Vargas, a Brazilian research institute, said the election could be annulled if the margin is very narrow and it is shown that polling stations stayed open longer in areas that strongly favor one candidate," the NYT reported.

🇧🇷 Wealthy Brazilians are quietly mapping exits to Spain, Italy, Portugal, and Switzerland Advisors say clients are locking in Spain’s two-year citizenship path, Italy’s flat tax and investor visa, and other European setups while Portugal is still on the cards. Switzerland’s lump-sum option is also in the mix for some. Political swings and tax uncertainty keep pushing money and people to look for Plan B outside the country. Last night’s result just made those conversations a little more urgent. Source: Forbes, Alessandro Palombo / Writer: Lucas

Amazing news! Texas Children's opens the nation's first detransition clinic. Now the hospital has to pay to help undo the damage. Under a $10 million settlement with Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton over billing Texas Medicaid for 'gender-transition' interventions, Texas Children's Hospital in Houston has opened what Paxton calls the nation's first detransition clinic. The hospital must fully fund the clinic's care for its first five years, so patients pay nothing. Services include endocrinology, surgery, primary care, fertility counseling, psychiatry, psychology, social work and case management, and speech pathology. billboardchris.com/news/2026…
