POLICY WIRE — New York, United States — Global equity funds saw a second consecutive week of net inflows, with $34.76 billion flowing into the sector during the week ending September 30, according to recent data.

The surge in investment came despite rising bond yields, fueled by growing confidence in artificial intelligence development and a more moderate pace of U.S. inflation. This trend marks a reversal from earlier in the month, when markets had experienced outflows.
