Elon Musk's SpaceX joined other mega-cap ⁠names in tapping bond markets, adding to worries that the sector's investment boom is becoming increasingly reliant on ​borrowing.Investor caution ​was also fuelled by ​expectations of a possible ‌25-basis-point Fed rate hike this year amid rising inflationary pressures.Technology sector funds saw nearly $20 billion in outflows during the week, reversing the previous week's $21.46 billion in inflows.Financial, industrial and consumer discretionary sector funds also recorded notable ‌weekly outflows of $1.06 billion, $830 million ​and $733 million, respectively.Meanwhile, inflows into U.S. ​bond funds slowed ​to an eight-week low of $7.33 billion.Short-to-intermediate investment-grade ‌funds, general domestic taxable fixed-income ​funds and municipal ​debt funds attracted $2.95 billion, $2.03 billion and $633 million, respectively, down from $3.09 billion, $3.39 billion and $1.19 billion in the ​previous week.Money market ‌funds recorded net weekly sales of $25.74 billion, their ​largest outflow since April 15.(Reporting by Gaurav ​Dogra, editing by Milla Nissi-Prussak)Terms and Privacy PolicyEU DSA contactPrivacy & Cookie SettingsMore Info
