The United States saw a notable slowdown in foreign demand for its long-term securities in June 2026, as TIC Net Long-Term Transactions including swaps declined to $172.70 billion. This marks a significant pullback from May 2026, when the indicator stood at $231.20 billion.
The June figure suggests that while overseas appetite for US long-term assets remains robust in absolute terms, momentum has eased compared with the previous month. The data, updated on 17 August 2026, will be closely watched by investors and policymakers as a gauge of global confidence in US financial markets, the dollar, and the broader economic outlook.
With net long-term inflows still firmly positive, the numbers indicate continued foreign participation in US Treasuries and other long-duration instruments, albeit at a reduced pace. Market participants may now look to upcoming data releases and policy signals to assess whether June’s decline marks a temporary adjustment or the start of a more sustained moderation in external demand for US assets.
