Net inflows into global equity funds reached $43.1 billion in the week to February 10, the highest since at least mid-March, boosted by upbeat corporate earnings and the outlook for the US stimulus package, according to data released by financial data company Refinitiv Lipper on Thursday.
On Feb. 10, the MSCI World Index, which tracks stocks in 49 countries and regions, hit an all-time high.
Global bond funds have seen a net inflow of $18.03 billion over the past week, benefiting from a rise in US Treasury yields.
