In a notable leap, the United States' Treasury International Capital (TIC) net long-term transactions, including swaps, more than doubled from the previous month, reaching an astounding $216.10 billion in September 2024. This substantial increase from August's $108.80 billion demonstrates a significant upswing in foreign demand for U.S. long-term securities.
The latest data, updated on November 18, 2024, indicate a strengthened investor confidence in the economic resilience of the United States amidst growing global market uncertainties. Analysts are increasingly attentive to these figures, suggesting that the sharp increase could reflect investor reassessment of risk assets in favor of U.S. stability and seeking refuge in relatively safer and high-quality assets.
As these numbers reveal a marked positive shift, stakeholders are optimistic that this momentum could serve as a buffer against potential economic headwinds, underscoring the appeal of U.S. financial instruments as a crucial cornerstone in the global market environment.
