In a surprising turn of events, the United States' TIC (Treasury International Capital) Net Long-Term Transactions experienced a dramatic decrease in July 2025, plunging from $151.0 billion in June to just $49.2 billion. The latest figures, updated on September 18, 2025, indicate a significant shift in long-term foreign investment patterns.
This drastic reduction highlights a potential cooling of international investor sentiment towards U.S. securities, a key component of the country's financial inflows. The data marks the lowest level of net long-term transactions in recent months, prompting analysts to carefully assess the underlying economic factors driving this change.
It remains to be seen whether this is a temporary dip or an indication of a more sustained trend. Economists and policymakers will undoubtedly scrutinize these numbers, considering the broader implications for the U.S. economy and its attractiveness as an investment destination in the global markets.
