LARGE EQUITY FUND OUTFLOWS IN AUGUST A WARNING SIGN FOR STOCKS
August saw the largest outflows from stock funds since the end of 2022, a warning sign for equity markets despite weekly data that has indicated a better outlook, said JPMorgan analysts including Nikolaos Panigirtzoglou.
“The release of equity mutual fund and ETF flows by monthly reporting funds has changed completely the picture for August,” the analysts said, noting that the data provides “a sharp contrast” to initial data from weekly reporting funds that showed net inflows in most weeks.
August is estimated to have an outflow of around $55 billion globally, based on Lipper data. That “portrays a picture of fragility rather than resilience in terms of retail investors’ impulse into equities,” the bank said.
Nearer term, stock markets could be supported by rebalancing flows for month and quarter-end. JPMorgan estimates this will total around $125 billion of equity buying.
But beyond that “a weaker retail impulse raises the risk of a more severe equity market correction going forward given the lack of new positive catalysts and given the resurfacing of US recession fears and the uncertainty ahead of the US election,” the analysts concluded.
