Foreign purchases of U.S. long-term securities more than doubled in May 2026, according to the latest Treasury International Capital (TIC) data released on 14 July 2026. Net long-term transactions, including swaps, climbed to $232.70 billion in May, up sharply from $104.80 billion in April 2026.
The strong increase in net inflows underscores a significant rise in foreign appetite for U.S. long-term assets over the month. The May figure marks a notable acceleration from April’s already substantial total, signaling robust international confidence in U.S. financial markets and long-term instruments during the period.
