BofA Flow Show (USD): BofA Bull & Bear Indicator dips to 9.2 from 9.4

• 5.4bn to bonds, 4.9bn to gold, 0.7bn to cash, 1.2bn from crypto  (biggest outflow in 2 months), $43.2bn from stocks (record outflow driven by China  ETFs).

• China equities: 49.2bn outflow.
• Japan equities: 2.2bn inflow, biggest since Oct’25.
• US equities: 16.8bn outflow, 1st outflow in 2 weeks.
• Europe equities: 0.7bn inflow

The dip in the BofA Bull & Bear Indicator suggests a slight increase in market caution or bearish sentiment, which, coupled with significant outflows from equities, particularly China and the U.S., indicates a potential shift in risk appetite. The substantial inflow into bonds and gold reflects investors seeking safety, which could imply forthcoming volatility in equity markets and affect sentiment towards riskier assets like stocks and cryptocurrencies.
