US Equity Funds See First Inflows in Weeks
25 Sep
Summary
- US equity funds experienced their first inflows in five weeks.
- Large-cap technology funds attracted significant investor interest.
- Bond funds and money market funds also saw increased investments.
In the week ending September 25, US equity funds experienced their first inflows in five weeks, with investors purchasing a net $37.6 billion. This surge was largely attributed to robust demand for AI applications and a noticeable retreat in oil prices from recent peaks.
Funds focusing on large-cap technology companies saw substantial investor interest, benefiting from a broader tech rally. However, a significant rise in 30-year Treasury yields to 5.5016%, a 22-year high, tempered overall investor risk appetite due to expectations of further Federal Reserve tightening.
Beyond equities, US bond funds experienced a jump in inflows, reaching $5.93 billion. Money market funds also attracted approximately $11 billion, reversing a two-week trend of outflows. This indicates a broader return of capital to various investment vehicles.
