Jan 30 (Reuters) – U.S. equity funds experienced renewed inflows in the week to January 28, supported by upbeat expectations ahead of mega-cap earnings despite jitters over President Donald Trump’s latest tariff threats.
According to LSEG Lipper data, U.S. equity funds drew $10.73 billion worth of inflows during the week, compared with about $5.25 billion in outflows a week ago.
Equity sectoral funds in particular, had $6.07 billion weekly net investments, the largest amount for a week since at least 2022.
Leading sectoral net investments, tech, financials, and metals and mining sectors attracted $1.72 billion, $1.44 billion and $1.39 billion, respectively.
Bond funds had the recent run of net purchases extended into a fourth straight week as these funds drew $13.16 billion in weekly net investments.
Investors bought U.S. short-to-intermediate investment-grade funds, general domestic taxable fixed income funds and municipal debt funds the most, pouring in $5.31 billion, $3.28 billion and $2.06 billion, respectively into these funds.
Meanwhile, money market funds ended a two-week selling streak by drawing in a net inflow of $9.64 billion.
