Official Release: Press Release 

Monthly Net TIC Flows: $60.6B, forecast $42.5B, pr. -$48.7B

The TIC, or “Treasury International Capital“ report revealed that foreign buying of US financial assets - long term  rose more than forecast in April to an 11-month high of $115.1 billion. This figure includes equities, notes and bonds, which are considered long-term assets. Including short-term securities such as Treasury bills and non-market trades such as stock swaps, foreigners bought a net $60.6 billion, rebounding form a net sales of $48.7 billion in March.

The figures report that after the collapse of Bear Stearns, the markets were able to regain confidence in US securities with more purchases of Treasury bills. Today's figure was more than enough to cover April's trade deficit of $60.9 billion as the TIC report measures how closely the US is able to finance its trade balance.

Official Release: Press Release 

Monthly Net TIC Flows: $-48.2B, forecast $67.5B, pr. $48.9B (rev from $64.1B)

The Treasury International Capital report, or TIC, showed that net foreign acquisitions of long-maturity US securities, excluding non-market flows such as stock swaps and principal repayment on asset-backed securities, totaled $80.4 billion in March, and the February figure was revised down to $48.9B. Total net foreign purchase of long-term securities amounted to $54.2B.

The monthly Net TIC flow, which excluded non-market flows, short-term securities and changes in bank's dollar holdings, saw a decline of -$48.2B. This is the most comprehensive category and shows that the US is attracting short term but not long term capital flows. The TIC report is important in gaging how well the US is able to finance its trade deficit.
