US equity funds post fourth straight week of outflows, with $31.44 billion pulled by September 18
US equity funds saw a fourth straight week of large outflows ($31.44B) as crude's rise lifted inflation anxiety, pushed Treasury yields higher, and reinforced expectations of additional Fed tightening after a 25 bp hike. Large-cap redemptions dominated, signaling broad risk aversion despite targeted inflows into financials, consumer discretionary, and tech. Bond-fund inflows slowed and money markets saw sizable withdrawals, underscoring cautious positioning.
