Lipper-FMI fund flow data - Week ended July 17
US IG and US HY funds kept seeing some interest from the investors over the past week. If the latter showed slower inflows (albeit comparable with the week earlier at $0.6 bn versus $0.7bn) the former enjoyed a significant increase in inflows to $5.7bn after $0.6bn a week before . Inflows to US-based equity funds more than doubled at $ 3.8 bn after $1.8bn, while for m oney market funds they were just a third of those from the week earlier ( $9bn versus $28bn ) . Meanwhile, leverage loan funds keep suffering (outflows of $0.5bn) from the economic slowdown expectations implying more rate cuts from the Fed .
