Foreign Demand for U.S. Long-Term Securities Climbs as TIC Flows Jump in April

Foreign purchases of U.S. long-term securities, including swaps, strengthened in April 2026, with TIC Net Long-Term Transactions rising to $103.10 billion. The latest U.S. Treasury International Capital (TIC) data, updated on 18 June 2026, show a notable pickup from March’s $79.90 billion, underscoring solid global appetite for U.S. assets.

The increase in net long-term flows suggests foreign investors expanded their exposure to U.S. bonds and other long-term instruments in April, following already robust inflows in March 2026. While the data release does not detail the composition of buying, the headline figure points to continued confidence in U.S. financial markets and the country’s long-term debt securities as a destination for global capital.
