Treasury International Capital Flows for United States: $55.8 bil

TIC flows again climbed in March. Net foreign purchases of long-term securities rose to $55.8 billion, indicating a revival of foreign appetite for U.S. financial assets. Foreign investors are motivated by the desire for safe haven, as global financial markets are still in a fragile state. They increased their holdings of U.S. long-term securities; net purchases rose to $56.4 billion from $20.8 billion the prior month.
