The United States recorded a sharp increase in foreign demand for its long-term securities in February 2026, as TIC Net Long-Term Transactions including swaps rose to $58.60 billion. This marks a strong acceleration from January 2026, when the indicator stood at $15.50 billion.
The data, updated on 15 April 2026, indicate that net purchases of US long-term financial assets by foreign investors strengthened notably month-on-month. TIC (Treasury International Capital) Net Long-Term Transactions are closely watched as a gauge of international appetite for US securities and a key component of financing the US external position.
The jump from January’s $15.50 billion to February’s $58.60 billion suggests more robust cross-border portfolio flows into US long-term instruments, potentially reflecting shifting global risk sentiment and relative returns in US markets during the period.
