- International equities have now seen a record four week inflow of USD 64.6bln
- Gold sees the largest outflows in four months
- BofA's Bull & Bear Indicator falls to 9.4 (prev. 9.5), and reads “extreme bull” levels, near highest since January 2018 on sustained inflows to global stock ETFs & tech funds, strong global stock index breadth, bullish fund manager positioning, partially offset by outflows from EM debt, and hedge funds turning net long VIX futures.
The notable outflows from gold, which have reached a four-month high, may suggest a shift in asset allocation as investors favor stocks and bonds over traditional safe havens. The decline in BofA's Bull & Bear Indicator to "extreme bull" levels highlights a pronounced optimism among fund managers amidst this trend, although caution is warranted given the simultaneous outflows from emerging markets and rising net long positions in volatility products like VIX futures.
