Context
The latest BofA weekly flow report indicates significant capital movements, with cash inflows hitting USD 70.7 billion, reflecting a strong preference for liquidity during uncertain market conditions. The inflows into stocks, particularly in large caps, suggest renewed investor confidence but are tempered by ongoing outflows in consumer equities and energy, which may signal sector-specific concerns.
