Treasuries set for worst streak since U.S. independence, as investors bag tech stocks
Bullish investors poured money into tech stocks for the 10th straight week, the longest streak in two years BofA Global Research said, while U.S. Treasuries are set for their worst yearly performance since the Declaration of Independence. There were a net $10.3 billion of inflows into equity funds in the week to Wednesday, with investors putting $5.1 billion into tech stocks, the most since May, and $4.9 billion into emerging market stocks, BofA said on Friday, citing data from provider EPFR. Investors have been buying stocks on increasing hopes that the U.S. economy will achieve a soft landing – slowing enough to bring inflation back to the Federal Reserve’s target, but not dramatically.
