Global equity funds attracted their largest weekly inflow in three weeks in the week to July 8, as strong demand for AI-linked technology products and cooling expectations for Federal Reserve rate hikes boosted risk appetite. Global equity funds drew a net $49.23 billion in inflows during the week, marking their largest weekly inflow since June 17, LSEG Lipper data showed. Upbeat June manufacturing activity reports last week pointed to strong demand for AI-related products, including chips and computers.
