Global equity funds saw about US$10.58 billion of inflows in the week to 29 October, led by Asia with US$7.19 billion (including US$5.46 billion to Japan), as investors anticipated a rate cut by the Federal Reserve and a trade-deal between the U.S. and China. Tech and utility-sector funds captured much of the interest, while gold and precious-metal funds saw outflows of US$1.51 billion. The flow underscores investor rotation toward equities amid policy signals and trade optimism even as risks remain high.
