Gold prices steady as traders assess Fed rate outlook after soft US data
Investing.com - The Russell 2000 ETF (NYSE:IWM) experienced record weekly outflows of $4.9 billion last week, according to JPMorgan’s latest futures and flows report released Monday.
The significant IWM outflows, measuring -3.2 standard deviations below average, came amid a broader rotation from small and mid-cap stocks toward large-cap equities. Overall equity ETFs recorded below-average inflows of $8.8 billion (-0.5 standard deviations) during the period, while U.S. equities specifically saw moderately below-average inflows of $7.7 billion (-0.3 standard deviations).
Fixed income ETFs attracted above-average inflows of $7.5 billion (+0.3 standard deviations), while commodity ETFs experienced outflows of $0.7 billion (-1 standard deviation). Currency and multi-asset ETFs also saw outflows totaling $0.4 billion (-1 standard deviation).
International developed market equity funds recorded below-average inflows of $2.2 billion (-0.2 standard deviations), while emerging market funds saw notable outflows of $1.1 billion (-0.9 standard deviations). The data suggests investors broadly reduced risk exposure across smaller companies and emerging markets.
In futures markets, JPMorgan reported large net buying in NIFTY, Australia 10-year, Euribor, silver, JPY/USD and USD/BRL contracts, while significant selling occurred in Nasdaq, Dow Jones, DAX, SMI, KOSPI, nickel, wheat and Ethereum futures.
