Global Equity Funds Mark Largest Weekly Outflow Ever as US and China See Massive Pullbacks

Global equity funds saw a record 43.2 billion dollar weekly outflow as US and Chinese markets faced heavy selling. Geopolitical and regulatory factors drove this shift.

Insights:
Global equity funds recorded their largest weekly outflows on record, totaling $43.2 billion in the week ending Wednesday, according to tracking data from EPFR. This historic capital reallocation was primarily fueled by a $16.8 billion withdrawal from United States USUSequity funds and a massive $49.2 billion exit from equity markets in China CNCN. The scale of these movements has immediate implications for global liquidity and valuations across major benchmarks such as the S&P 500 Index and the Shanghai Composite Index .
