US equity outflows continue for 4th straight week; Europe, Japan see inflows - BofA
LONDON, May 9 (Reuters) - Outflows from U.S. stocks continued for a fourth straight week in the week to Wednesday, BofA Global Research said in a note on Friday, while investors bought international stocks, led by inflows to Europe.
U.S. stocks suffered $9.3 billion of outflows in the week, with the past four weeks being the largest outflow since May 2023, BofA said, citing EPFR data.
In contrast, international stocks saw $7 billion in inflows, led by a $4.2 billion inflow into European shares, while Japanese stocks saw inflows for the fourth straight week.
But BofA strategists still said there was very little evidence investors were dumping U.S. assets, as foreign institutions have bought $4.5 billion since U.S. President Donald Trump announced his tariff plans on April 2.
"Long-term money moves slowly," BofA strategists said.
