U.S. equity markets are experiencing substantial outflows, with equity funds recording a net outflow of $35 billion in the week ending December 18, marking the largest weekly outflow in two years. This follows a notable trend where institutional investors' allocation to U.S. stocks reached a record 36%, while their cash allocation has dropped to its lowest level since 2001. Additionally, Goldman Sachs estimates that U.S. pensions may sell approximately $21 billion in equities by month-end due to recent market movements. Hedge funds have increased their exposure to financial firms, with investments exceeding $340 billion, a 50% rise from the previous quarter. Meanwhile, U.S. money market fund assets have reached $6.75 trillion, indicating a potential shift in liquidity dynamics as these reserves could be deployed in response to market conditions.
