Foreign purchases of U.S. long-term securities accelerated sharply in February 2026, according to the latest Treasury International Capital (TIC) report released on 15 April 2026.
Net long-term transactions climbed to $58.6 billion in February, up strongly from $15.5 billion recorded in January 2026. The data signal a marked increase in global appetite for U.S. long-term assets, which can include Treasuries, corporate bonds and equities.
The jump in net inflows suggests that international investors continued to view U.S. markets as a relatively attractive destination for capital early in 2026, reinforcing support for the dollar and U.S. funding conditions after a more subdued start to the year.
