Due to President Trump's decision to delay the attack on Iran's energy infrastructure and propose a peace agreement, hopes for a cooling of the situation in the Middle East have boosted market sentiment, leading to strong inflows of funds into US stock funds.
Notice that, in the week ending March 25th, the hope of a cooler Middle East situation due to President Trump's delay in attacking Iran's energy infrastructure and proposing a war-ending agreement boosted market sentiment, attracting strong fund inflows into US stock funds. Data from the London Stock Exchange Group shows that investors poured a net $37.24 billion into US stock funds, marking the largest single-week inflow since mid-November 2024 and breaking a three-week streak of net outflows. However, as Iran continues to deny any negotiations with the US, deepening doubts in the market about whether this nearly month-long conflict can be resolved quickly, the tech-heavy Nasdaq Composite Index fell by over 2% on Thursday. Investors bought into US large-cap stock funds for the first time in seven weeks, adding a net $45.07 billion. Mid-cap and small-cap stock funds experienced net outflows of $2.15 billion and $1.24 billion respectively. Sector funds in the US recorded a net outflow of $2.9 billion, marking the largest single-week withdrawal since December 24th. Within this, investors pulled $1.45 billion from the tech sector, $0.974 billion from the gold and precious metals sector, and $0.507 billion from the healthcare sector. US bond funds attracted a net $7.56 billion in inflows, decreasing by nearly a third from the previous week's $12.05 billion increase. Intermediate-term investment-grade funds attracted a net $2.03 billion in inflows, the lowest level in three weeks; while general domestic taxable fixed income funds saw a net outflow of $1.11 billion. Intermediate-term government and Treasury funds received a net inflow of $9.07 billion, marking the largest single-week buying volume since at least May 2024. Money market funds saw a net outflow of $57.96 billion, ending a five-week streak of net buying trends.
