Global equity funds have seen weekly outflows for the first time in six weeks, pressured by rising U.S. Treasury yields and mounting concerns over the U.S. debt burden and tax-cut legislation, following Moody's downgrade of the U.S. sovereign credit rating. According to LSEG Lipper, global equity funds saw $9.4 billion in net outflows, a sharp reversal from more than $20 billion in inflows the previous week. U.S. equity funds led the retreat, with $11 billion in redemptions, followed by $4.6 billion from Asian funds.
