ETF and equity fund inflows stay strong

Entities: Amazon.com Inc. · S&P 500 · Palantir Technologies · Federal Reserve · Nasdaq Composite

Overview

In early August 2026, global equity funds continued to attract strong net inflows, reaching $21.15 billion for the week – the 11th consecutive week of net purchases. The flow was driven by solid earnings from firms such as Amazon, Caterpillar and Palantir and a cooling of crude‑oil prices. U.S. equity funds still posted outflows of about $1.58 billion as investors took profits ahead of a weak July jobs report that showed a loss of 23,000 jobs and unemployment near 4.1 %. The disappointing labor data eased expectations of a Federal Reserve rate hike in September, helping the S&P 500, Dow and Nasdaq climb near record levels and pushing Treasury yields lower. Money‑market funds absorbed $55.7 billion of new cash, while U.S. bond funds added $6.5 billion, complementing the broader bond‑fund inflows seen in July. The episode underscores the ongoing surge in ETF and equity‑fund assets, which had reached a $15.8 trillion high in July, and the heightened risk‑appetite tied to AI‑related earnings optimism across major regions.
