U.S. Sees Strong Foreign Capital Inflow of $77.8 Billion in June

WASHINGTON – The United States recorded a significant net inflow of foreign capital in June 2025, attracting $77.8 billion as international investors, particularly official institutions, continued to show strong demand for U.S. assets.

The latest Treasury International Capital (TIC) data, which tracks cross-border portfolio flows, revealed that the influx was overwhelmingly driven by foreign official entities such as central banks and government funds. Net foreign official inflows accounted for $70.5 billion of the total, while net foreign private inflows made up the remaining $7.3 billion.

The report highlighted robust demand for long-term U.S. securities, which are often seen as a key indicator of investor confidence. Foreign residents increased their holdings of these assets by a gross amount of $192.3 billion during the month. This was led by private investors, who purchased $154.6 billion, while foreign official institutions added $37.7 billion.

During the same period, U.S. residents also increased their investments abroad, purchasing $41.5 billion in long-term foreign securities.

After accounting for these flows and other adjustments, the total net foreign acquisition of long-term U.S. securities was estimated at a strong $150.8 billion for June. The data underscores the continued appeal of U.S. capital markets amid global investment dynamics and highlights the significant role that foreign official institutions play in supporting demand for U.S. assets.
