Foreign demand for U.S. Treasury bonds swung sharply in July 2026, with overseas investors turning into net sellers after posting solid net purchases a month earlier, according to data updated on 16 September 2026.
Net foreign buying of U.S. T-bonds dropped to **-3.60 billion dollars in July 2026**, a reversal from **6.20 billion dollars in net inflows in June 2026**. The move marks a notable shift in sentiment over a single month, as the indicator moved from positive to negative territory.
The turnaround suggests that international investors scaled back exposure to U.S. government debt in July, after adding to their holdings in June, potentially signaling increased caution toward U.S. fixed income or a shift in global portfolio allocations.
