Net foreign purchases of U.S. long-term securities, including swaps, strengthened in March, with the TIC Net Long-Term Transactions indicator rising to 81.30 billion USD. This marks a notable increase from February 2026, when the figure stood at 57.00 billion USD, according to data updated on 18 May 2026.
The move suggests firmer foreign appetite for U.S. long-term assets over the period, pointing to sustained international confidence in U.S. financial markets. The acceleration from February to March indicates that cross-border portfolio flows into U.S. Treasuries and other long-term instruments remained an important source of capital inflows for the United States during early 2026.
