Global equity fund inflows cool on caution over tech sector selloff (Reuters) -Global equity fund inflows dropped sharply in the week through August 20 on caution over a selloff in leading technology stocks, with the Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell’s upcoming speech at the annual Jackson Hole symposium this weekend, also adding to risk aversion. Investors bought global equity funds worth just $2.27 billion during the week compared with a robust $19.29 billion net purchase the prior week, data from LSEG Lipper showed. U.S. equity funds saw a net $2.4 billion worth of outflows during the week, partly reversing the previous week’s approximately $8.76 billion worth of net inflows. Weekly net inflows in European and Asian equity funds, meanwhile, eased to $4.2 billion and $70 million from $7.1 billion and $2.08 billion, respectively in the week before. Investors also withdrew net $1.82 billion from equity sectoral funds. The financial and tech sectors, with $1.58 billion and $613 million in outflows, led the weekly net sales. Global bond funds were, meanwhile, popular for a 17th straight week as investors pumped a net $18.82 billion into these funds. High yield bond funds received a weekly sum of $3.03 billion, the largest net inflow in eight weeks. Investors also snapped up a significant $2.52 billion worth of short-term bond funds for an eighth successive weekly net purchase. Investors also channeled a net $13.98 billion into the safety of money market funds, extending their buying streak into a third consecutive week. 3rd party Ad.

UBS remains neutral on global equities despite recent gains Investing.com -- UBS is maintaining a neutral stance on global equities despite recent market gains supported by trade de-escalation, strong second-quarter earnings, and increased likelihood of Federal Reserve rate cuts. The investment bank expects global equities to rise over the next 12 months, driven primarily by earnings growth rather than further valuation expansion. UBS has upgraded its global earnings growth forecasts to mid-to-high single digits for both this year and next. According to UBS strategists Fabian Deriaz and Ulrike Hoffmann-Burchardi, the market may lack near-term catalysts following recent gains, and current valuations suggest a high level of optimism is already priced in. The August 1 tariff deadline passed smoothly for global equities, while robust earnings and dovish repricing for Fed rate cuts have fueled further gains and reinforced investor confidence. UBS recommends investors use any periods of volatility or market pullbacks as opportunities to add exposure, particularly to their Transformational Innovation Opportunities (TRIOs): Artificial Intelligence, Power and resources, and Longevity. The broader environment for global equities remains supportive with low recession risks and favorable financial conditions, which should further improve as the Federal Reserve cuts rates. The U.S. earnings season has highlighted corporate resilience, with earnings per share beating expectations and forward guidance surprising to the upside. For regional preferences, UBS favors technology across all regions. In the US, pro-growth policies and deregulation are likely to benefit sectors such as financials. For Europe, the bank recommends focusing on quality, industrials, and its "Six ways to invest in Europe" theme. In Asia, India continues to stand out as a preferred market. 3rd party Ad.

In its upside scenario, UBS projects the MSCI ACWI could reach 1,300 by June 2026, driven by continued AI investment, quick trade deals, and robust economic growth. The downside scenario targets 820, reflecting risks from material economic slowdown due to tariffs or escalating geopolitical tensions. Which stocks should you consider in your very next trade?

Citi forecasts steady gains for global equities despite tariff risks Investing.com -- Citigroup (NYSE:C) expects global equities to remain range-bound into year-end, before seeing more meaningful gains through mid-2026. The bank sees the MSCI All-Country World Equity Index index rising about 5% from current levels, supported by steady, albeit below-consensus, earnings growth and stable valuation multiples. The outlook for 2025 earnings has been revised down amid persistent geopolitical and trade-related risks. Citi’s top-down forecast now calls for 5% earnings per share (EPS) growth this year and 11% in 2026, compared to bottom-up consensus estimates of 8% and 13%, respectively. “The first half for 2025 has been shaped by extraordinary macro shocks, but global equities have nevertheless climbed back towards all-time highs,” Citi strategists said in a Friday note. “Heading into 2H25, the market setup feels somewhat familiar,” they added. The team remains cautious about the potential fallout from U.S. tariff policies, particularly with new measures targeting Japan, Korea, and other countries set to take effect August 1. They note that “tariff risks are still very much in play,” warning that even baseline scenarios could pressure earnings through margin compression and reduced demand. Even so, market pricing remains relatively optimistic. Citi points out that “markets have taken President Trump’s latest announcements in stride,” suggesting confidence that further escalation may be avoided. Still, they argue that risks are not fully priced into earnings estimates in regions such as Japan, where projected tariffs could cut EPS by as much as 7%. In terms of positioning, Citi prefers European equities, where they see room for upgrades due to stepped-up fiscal spending and what they describe as “cracks in U.S. exceptionalism.” The bank’s view on U.S. equities remains Neutral, while Japan has also been downgraded to Neutral due to near-term tariff exposure and yen strength. Emerging markets and Australia are rated Underweight. “Ultimately, we see rangebound markets to year end, but pencil in 5% upside for the MSCI AC World to mid-26,” strategists wrote. “This will be supported by below-consensus, but still solid, EPS growth and little change in valuation multiples." Valuation-wise, the MSCI AC World is now trading at a 12-month forward price-to-earnings (P/E) of around 18.5x. The U.S. remains the most expensive market at 22x, near its historical highs, while the U.K. and emerging markets are the cheapest at 13x, though not significantly below their long-term averages. Over the medium term, Citi’s price targets in Japan and Europe imply the most upside. By sector, Citi maintains Overweights in Technology, Financials, and Utilities, the latter seen as a defensive play with earnings momentum and a potential beneficiary of AI-driven infrastructure trends. Consumer sectors are Underweight amid weaker earnings trends. Don't miss out on the next big opportunity!
