Foreign demand for U.S. Treasury auctions surged in January 2026, with overseas buyers securing 19% of note and bond sales—the highest share in nearly three years, per TD Securities data. The rebound eases concerns that rising deficits and a weakened safe-haven reputation would deter global investors, according to interest-rate strategists analyzing Treasury Department figures. Foreign participation peaked at nearly 25% in early 2022 but plummeted below 10% by late 2024, highlighting recent volatility in demand before the January recovery. TD’s analysis suggests sustained foreign appetite for U.S. debt, countering fears of a prolonged exodus amid fiscal pressures and shifting global economic conditions. The trend underscores the dollar’s enduring role as a reserve currency despite geopolitical risks and domestic budgetary challenges.
