Silver Rises Over 120% YTD 
U.S. equity funds experienced their strongest weekly inflows since November, with investors adding a net $22.24 billion in the week through March 26, completely reversing the previous week’s $33.53 billion outflow. This surge in investment came as markets responded positively to signals that the Trump administration might take a more measured approach to tariffs, shifting investor focus toward potential corporate earnings growth. However, market volatility returned later in the week when President Trump announced a 25% import tax on foreign-made vehicles and auto parts.
Large-cap equity funds were the primary beneficiary, attracting $23.1 billion and reversing their previous week’s $27.38 billion outflow. Small-cap and multi-cap funds also saw positive inflows of $3.07 billion and $105 million respectively, while mid-cap funds experienced modest outflows of $74 million. Sectoral equity funds faced $1.96 billion in outflows, with consumer discretionary funds seeing their largest weekly withdrawal in five weeks at $737 million. Meanwhile, bond fund outflows accelerated to $2.97 billion, ending a 13-week streak of inflows for short-to-intermediate government and Treasury funds. Money market funds attracted $2.52 billion, their first weekly inflow in three weeks.
