Net foreign investment in U.S. stocks and mutual funds reached a record $426 billion during the second quarter of 2025, marking a 62% increase compared to the same period in the previous year. This surge reflects growing confidence among international investors in the resilience and performance potential of the U.S. equity market. Over the past twelve months ending July 31, 2025, foreign net purchases totaled $942 billion, highlighting sustained interest from global capital inflows into American financial markets. The data suggests that despite macroeconomic uncertainties elsewhere in the world, investors continue to favor U.S.-listed assets as a safe haven or high-growth opportunity.
