According to Zhitong Finance APP, for the week ending February 11, there was a strong inflow of funds into European and Asian equity funds, as investors reduced their holdings in large U.S. stocks due to concerns over high valuations and increasing spending related to artificial intelligence. LSEG Lipper data shows that global equity funds recorded net inflows for the fifth consecutive week, with a total amount of $25.54 billion, including a net inflow of $17.53 billion into European funds, setting a record for the highest weekly inflow since at least 2022; Asian funds saw a net inflow of approximately $6.28 billion. Meanwhile, U.S. equity funds experienced a net outflow of $1.42 billion for the week, marking the first net outflow in three weeks. As concerns grew again about the potential impact of artificial intelligence technology on industries such as software, legal services, and wealth management, the technology-heavy Nasdaq Composite Index fell 2.03% last Thursday. ![0b6b15bff4a4ae37bbf9d3608b04c17.png](https://imageproxy.pbkrs.com/https://img.zhitongcaijing.com/image/20260213/1770979336311097.png?x-oss-process=image/auto-orient,1/interlace,1/resize,w_1440,h_1440/quality,q_95/format,jpg) Global bond funds have been favored by investors for the sixth consecutive week, with a net inflow of approximately $21.09 billion in the most recent week. Short-term bond funds saw a net inflow of $4.87 billion for the week, the highest since a net inflow of $10.17 billion in mid-December last year. Corporate bond funds and euro-denominated bond funds attracted inflows of $2.63 billion and $2.06 billion, respectively. ![e2565b08d0522fde7e358df9647c7af.png](https://imageproxy.pbkrs.com/https://img.zhitongcaijing.com/image/20260213/1770979345115007.png?x-oss-process=image/auto-orient,1/interlace,1/resize,w_1440,h_1440/quality,q_95/format,jpg) At the same time, inflows into money market funds dropped to the lowest level in three weeks, at only $1.15 billion. Gold and precious metals commodity funds attracted inflows for the 13th week out of the past 14 weeks, but the net inflow was $1.25 billion, the lowest level in five weeks. In emerging markets, investors injected $8.52 billion into equity funds, continuing the recent buying momentum for the eighth consecutive week; in bond funds, based on a comprehensive data set of 28,723 funds, the inflow was $1.29 billion. ![6c8ff2778f3aa126e7ac0d596833fbf.png](https://imageproxy.pbkrs.com/https://img.zhitongcaijing.com/image/20260213/1770979352777813.png?x-oss-process=image/auto-orient,1/interlace,1/resize,w_1440,h_1440/quality,q_95/format,jpg) ### Related Stocks - [Agnico Eagle Mines Limited (AEM.US)](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/AEM.US.md) - [Sprott Gold Miners ETF (SGDM.US)](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/SGDM.US.md) - [VanEck Gold Miners ETF (GDX.US)](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/GDX.US.md) - [YieldMax Gold Miners Opt Inc Strgy ETF (GDXY.US)](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/GDXY.US.md) - [Global X Silver Miners ETF (SIL.US)](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/SIL.US.md) - [iShares Silver Trust (SLV.US)](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/SLV.US.md) - [SPDR® Gold Shares (GLD.US)](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/GLD.US.md) - [iShares Gold Trust (IAU.US)](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/IAU.US.md) - [iShares MSCI Global Mtls&Mng Prdcrs ETF (PICK.US)](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/PICK.US.md) - [VanEck Junior Gold Miners ETF (GDXJ.US)](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/GDXJ.US.md) - [iShares MSCI Global Gold Miners ETF (RING.US)](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/RING.US.md) - [Invesco DB Precious Metals (DBP.US)](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/DBP.US.md) - [abrdn Physical Silver Shares ETF (SIVR.US)](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/SIVR.US.md) - [abrdn Physical PrecMtlBsk Shrs ETF (GLTR.US)](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/GLTR.US.md) - [Sprott Junior Gold Miners ETF (SGDJ.US)](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/SGDJ.US.md) - [Global X Gold Explorers ETF (GOEX.US)](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/GOEX.US.md) ## Related News & Research - [Why Did Newmont Stock Jump Nearly 12% This Week?](https://longbridge.com/en/news/281644098.md) - [Gold Hunter shifts from quiet buildup to fully funded drilling push at Newfoundland gold district](https://longbridge.com/en/news/281261616.md) - [05:10 ETBest Gold Investment for Beginners (2026): Priority Gold Named Leading Platform for Gold IRAs and First-Time Buyers by Better Business Advice](https://longbridge.com/en/news/281622297.md) - [Gold Royalty Corp.
