US stocks faced the largest weekly outflows in more than three months, BofA data reveals, raising concerns over equity demand amid shifting market conditions.
BofA reported that US stocks posted their largest weekly outflows in over three months, indicating a sharp rotation away from equities. This outflow pressure can weigh on the S&P 500 as institutional redemptions force selling.
Large outflows suggest institutional rotation that can pressure the index in the short term, as fund redemptions often lead to forced selling of underlying stocks.
