U.S. equity funds again came under selling pressure through the week to July 16, dampened by worries over President Donald Trump's tariff rhetoric and the buildup in inflationary pressure, potentially keeping the Federal Reserve cautious about a premature rate cut. Investors jettisoned a net $11.75 billion from U.S. equity funds during the week, reversing their two successive weeks of net purchases, data from LSEG Lipper showed. The large-cap fund segment was specifically under pressure as it witnessed a net $9.83 billion worth of divestments, the largest weekly figure since June 18.
