U.S. equities are on track to record a yearly inflow of $328 billion, marking the third largest inflow in history. Hedge funds significantly increased their purchases of global equities in May, reversing four consecutive months of net selling, including a near-record sell-off in March, according to Goldman Sachs. Last week, hedge fund trading activity saw its largest two-month increase, driven by more buying than selling. Retail investors also contributed to market inflows, purchasing $23 billion of U.S. equities in May, adding to $40 billion bought in March and April, as reported by JPMorgan. In the silver market, the Silver ETF (ticker $SLV) experienced an inflow of approximately $460 million last week, its largest weekly inflow in over a year. Additionally, silver call option volume surged to nearly $2.8 billion in notional value, the highest ever recorded. Recent options activity includes purchases of 25,000 September $32/$36 call spreads and 1,000 June 2026 $27 in-the-money calls for $SLV.
