🌐 Global Equity Funds See Inflows; AI Optimism Helps Sentiment

Investors return to equities as AI and easing hopes fuel optimism.

After weeks of outflows, global equity funds attracted fresh capital. Renewed optimism around artificial intelligence — with major firms announcing new breakthroughs — combined with relief over U.S. inflation data to restore confidence.
Asian and European markets benefited, while U.S. tech giants led the rebound. Analysts noted that AI remains the strongest single driver of equity flows, offsetting broader macro uncertainty.
Still, investors remain selective, favoring growth and innovation sectors over cyclical industries that remain vulnerable to tariffs and slowing demand.
