🇺🇸 White House: “We’ve Had Record Foreign Investment”
U.S. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent stated that the United States has seen record levels of foreign investment, signaling continued global capital inflows into American markets.
This comes at a time when U.S. assets remain attractive due to high interest rates, deep liquidity, and strong performance in tech and equity markets. Despite growing geopolitical tensions and rising competition from China, global investors are still allocating capital toward the U.S. for short- to medium-term opportunities.
However, recent moves by large European institutions reducing exposure to U.S. debt suggest that not all capital is long-term or permanent. Much of the inflow appears driven by yield-seeking and tactical positioning rather than long-term structural commitment.
📊 Market Impact
• Bullish for U.S. equities and USD liquidity in the short term
• Supports risk-on sentiment, indirectly benefiting Bitcoin and Ethereum
• Raises questions about capital durability if rates fall or volatility increases
While the headline is strong, investors should watch Treasury flow data and duration trends to judge whether this foreign investment represents confidence — or just opportunistic capital rotation.
