Last week’s turbulence in the tech sector left a mark on fund flows. Technology funds absorbed a record $9.3 billion in outflows according to Deutsche Bank. The trend captures just how quickly sentiment shifted as AI spending concerns and the OpenAI IPO delay news rattled investor conviction.
U.S.-focused funds bore the brunt of the exodus, shedding $8.5 billion, while global funds attracted $14.4 billion in fresh capital, a deliberate rotation away from concentrated U.S. tech exposure. Overall equity positioning slipped slightly below neutral, suggesting the market’s most enthusiastic bulls are taking a step back to reassess rather than doubling down at current levels.

The U.S. and Iran agreed Sunday to pause hostilities and restore free commercial transit through the Strait of Hormuz following a weekend of military exchanges that had threatened to derail the broader peace process. For a market that spent much of last week pricing in escalating risk, the ceasefire development is a welcome development heading into a week that will test whether last week’s selloff was a healthy reset or the start of something more prolonged.
