The bank said the indicator has flashed a sell signal 17 times since 2002.Bank of America noted that past sell signals have been followed by average global stock declines of 2% to 3% over the next two to three months, with peak drawdowns reaching 15% to 20%. The current reading is being driven by bullish fund-manager positioning, bond flows, credit-market technicals and broader stock-market breadth, while hedge fund positioning and equity flows remain neutral.Bank of America also said elevated inflation and the risk of tighter monetary policy could still pressure risk assets, even as investors remain increasingly optimistic.</div></div>
