Cash draws biggest weekly inflow since March 2023, BofA says

LONDON (Reuters) – Investors ploughed $136.4 billion into cash in the week to Wednesday, the biggest weekly inflow since March 2023, when markets were rattled by a regional banking crisis, according to a report from Bank of America on Friday.

They also snapped up $8.2 billion of stocks and $4.9 billion of bonds, but sold $0.4 billion of gold, Bank of America said, citing data from EPFR.

Crypto got a $3 billion injection, and clocked its largest four-week inflow ever, at $11 billion.

Buying of U.S. equities continued for the ninth consecutive week, with inflows into small caps specifically ballooning to a record high, the bank said.
