Foreign appetite for U.S. long-term securities strengthened in March 2026, with TIC Net Long-Term Transactions rising to $81.3 billion, up from $57.0 billion in February 2026.

The latest figures, updated on 18 May 2026, point to a notable increase in net foreign purchases of U.S. long-term financial assets over the month. The move from $57.0 billion to $81.3 billion suggests heightened confidence or demand from international investors for U.S. bonds, equities, or other long-duration instruments during March.

While the data do not break down the composition of the flows, the stronger net inflow underscores the continued role of U.S. markets as a key destination for global capital in early 2026.
