$9,580,000,000 Pours Into US Bond Funds As Global Markets Anticipate Imminent Federal Reserve Rate Cuts: Report
Investors are pouring capital into US and global bond funds in anticipation of rate cuts from the Federal Reserve.
In the week ending August 28th, a total of $17.69 billion in global bond funds was purchased, with $9.58 billion allocated to US bond funds, reports Reuters, citing LSEG data.
The numbers represent a six week high and come as investors bet that Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell will lower interest rates in the months ahead.
In the US, investors directed $5.42 billion specifically toward US government bonds – the largest allocation since October of last year.
Meanwhile, gold and money markets are maintaining their popularity.
Money markets witnessed $8.18 billion in global inflows, marking four positive weeks in a row.
Gold and other precious metal funds saw $342 million in net inflows, marking three consecutive weeks of gains.
The moves happened as the US stock market declined by about $2.83 billion in the same week.
Meanwhile, real-time data shows Bitcoin ETFs witnessed $277.2 million in outflows over the last five days.
The CME’s FedWatch tool shows 30% of market participants now expect the Federal Reserve to implement a 50 basis points rate cut next month, with 70% expecting a quarter-point cut.
