Investing.com -- North American stocks have experienced an increase in gross trading flow for the seventh consecutive week, according to a weekly recap by Goldman Sachs Prime Desk.

This rise comes as hedge funds have started to add back risk in each trading session from Tuesday through Thursday, following a significant reduction in risk the previous Monday.

On the other hand, global equities have seen a different trend. They were net sold for the fourth week in a row.

European equities, in particular, were sold at the fastest rate in over five years. This sale was driven by risk unwinds, with long sales outpacing short covers by a ratio of 6.5 to 1, as noted by Goldman Sachs.

Every region, with the exception of North America, witnessed risk unwinds last week. The net selling was led by Europe and EM Asia. Both single stocks and macro products were net sold, with the former experiencing the largest net selling since August 2024.

Among global sectors, communication services, consumer discretionary, industrials, and financials were the most net sold, while energy, real estate, and utilities were the most net bought.
