Foreign private investors remain solid buyers of U.S. securities, providing important support for the U.S. dollar, even in the face of record current account deficits.

The main story is foreign investors are more than willing to finance the U.S. current-account deficit. The stability, indeed the strength, of the U.S. dollar in 2005 encouraged investors back into the U.S.
