US equity funds log $31.44 billion outflow in week to September 18 as inflation and rate worries persist
US equity funds saw a fourth straight week of large outflows (~$31.4B) as higher oil prices revived inflation fears and pushed Treasury yields up, reinforcing expectations for tighter Fed policy. The flow data signals risk-off positioning and pressure on growth-sensitive equities. While sector funds drew inflows led by financials and tech, broad equity redemptions and a sharp money market withdrawal indicate elevated uncertainty into policy decisions.
