Global Equity ETFs Draw $30 Billion as Retail Demand Holds

Global equity ETFs drew $30 billion Monday after averaging about $20 billion in daily inflows last week, a potential source of support for AI-linked stocks as retail appetite stayed firm.

Retail-driven leveraged stock ETFs attracted nearly $5 billion on Nov. 5 and 6. Inverse ETFs saw outflows of roughly the same amount that week.

Buying of bullish call options declined, a shift that may strengthen the influence of retail investors. Continued equity fund inflows could help support the AI trade after its recent heavy losses.
