Foreign investors poured a record $311.1 billion into US securities in May, defying predictions of a decline following recent market turbulence. This follows a $14.2 billion outflow in April.

While some analysts remain bearish, the significant inflow suggests continued strong investor confidence in US markets despite ongoing trade negotiations and higher tariffs.
