Treasuries and foreign developed nations are back on Bill Gross’s buy list.<\/p>\n

In February, he hiked his foreign developed-nation bond holdings to the highest percentage since May 2004 according to Bloomberg.<\/p>\n

Bloomberg:<\/a><\/p>\n

Gross raised the proportion of the securities in the Total Return Fund to 19 percent of assets in February from 18 percent in January, according to a report placed on the company’s Web site.<\/p>\n

Yet what’s more striking is the fact that he made a big move into U.S. treasuries. 4% is a lot for just a month… and the first increase in a long time.<\/p>\n

He increased U.S. government debt to 35 percent from 31 percent, the first increase since October 2009, and lowered net cash to 2 percent from 9 percent.<\/p>\n

Which means he perfectly timed yesterday’s dovish Bernanke words.<\/p>\n
