June TIC data showed continued strong inflows

into US equities and slower inflows into US bonds

Our high-frequency data show that inflows into US equities likely

remained strong in July and August.

• June TIC data recorded another month of strong inflows into US portfolio assets at

USD204.9bn (Q2 2026 average: USD223.8bn; Q1 average: USD83.6bn).

• This was driven by strong net inflows into US equities (USD181.2bn; Q2 average:

+USD141.6bn) despite volatility in US equities with cross-currents from the strongerthan-expected May NFP release, the hawkish June FOMC , SpaceX’s IPO debut and

the US-Iran interim deal .
