China Bond Funds set a new weekly inflow record and China Equity Funds posted their second largest inflow since EPFR started tracking them while flows into Hong Kong Equity Funds hit a 24-week high.

Against this backdrop, which also included better-than-expected inflation figures from the US and UK, investors steered another $20 billion into US Equity and Bond Funds, rotated from cryptocurrencies to gold, responded strongly to the first round of financial sector earnings reports and pulled over $1.8 billion from Equity Funds with socially responsible (SRI) or environmental, social and governance (ESG) mandates.
