Foreign investors purchased a net $206.0 billion of long-term U.S. securities in April, according to newly released Treasury International Capital (TIC) data from the U.S. Department of the Treasury. Private foreign investors accounted for $164.4 billion of those purchases, while foreign official institutions added $41.6 billion. After accounting for U.S. purchases of foreign securities and other adjustments, overall net foreign purchases of long-term securities were estimated at $103.1 billion during the month.
The Treasury also reported total net TIC inflows of $26.1 billion, reflecting combined activity across long-term securities, short-term securities and banking flows. The data suggests continued foreign demand for U.S. financial assets despite ongoing discussion surrounding reserve diversification and alternative payment systems.
Foreign residents reduced holdings of U.S. Treasury bills by $13.6 billion during the month, though long-term purchases remained strong. The resilience in long-term securities demand underscores the enduring appeal of U.S. markets as a safe haven for global capital, even as central banks explore alternatives. The April figures indicate that foreign investors remain confident in the stability and liquidity of U.S. assets, which is critical for financing the U.S. current account deficit and supporting Treasury yields.
