US equity funds see a second successive weekly inflow

April 6 (Reuters) - U.S. ‌equity funds ​witnessed ​substantial inflows in the seven days to April 1 as worries over the ‌Middle East war eased temporarily after President ⁠Donald Trump indicated that the United States was nearing the ‌completion of its objectives ‌for the war.

Investors bought U.S. equity funds of a net $7.05 billion after about $36.95 billion worth ​of net purchases in the prior week, data from LSEG Lipper showed.

Investors were, however, risk ⁠averse on Monday as Trump ramped up his threats to destroy ​civilian infrastructure over the weekend, including power plants and bridges in Iran, if ​the strategic Strait of Hormuz ‌is not reopened by Tuesday.

U.S. large-cap equity funds attracted $14.67 billion in the week ⁠to April 1, in a second successive week of net purchases. Investors, however, ditched small-cap, mid-cap and ⁠sectoral funds of a net $1.34 billion, $1.09 billion and $3.82 billion, respectively.

Bond ​funds faced the first weekly net sales since December 31, 2025, to the tune of $10.17 billion.

Short-to-intermediate investment-grade funds ‌saw their first weekly net disposal in 18 weeks, worth $5.92 billion. Investors also ‌divested general domestic taxable fixed income funds of ⁠a net $1.25 billion.

Money ‌market funds, meanwhile, ​attracted $5.88 billion, the sixth weekly inflow in seven weeks.
