US equity funds draw weekly inflows on rate cut hopes
(Reuters) -U.S. equity funds gained substantial inflows in the week through August 13 as investors reversed a selling stance on hopes of a potential Federal Reserve rate cut in September, while a U.S.-China tariff truce further lifted sentiment. Investors bought a net $8.77 billion worth of U.S. equity funds during the week, partially offsetting the $13.89 billion in outflows recorded the previous week, LSEG Lipper data showed. An interim nomination to the Federal Reserve Board last week and a softer consumer price report on Tuesday boosted expectations of a rate cut next month, although Thursday's higher-than-expected producer price inflation tempered some of that optimism. The large-cap equity funds segments saw a net $4.49 billion worth of purchases, a reversal from approximately $7 billion net sales the prior week. Investors also snapped up $296 million worth of small-cap funds while shedding mid-cap funds to the tune of $472 million. Among sectoral funds, the tech sector received $3.35 billion, the largest amount for a week in 4-1/2 years as Apple Inc pledged new U.S. investments to avoid potential tariffs on iPhones. In contrast, the communication services and healthcare sectors saw $733 million and $557 million in net outflows respectively. U.S. bond funds drew a 17th straight weekly inflow, totaling $6.87 billion. General domestic taxable fixed income funds garnered a net$1.57 billion, the largest amount in six weeks. Short-to-intermediate investment-grade funds, and short-to-intermediate government and treasury funds also experienced a hefty $2.52 billion and $1.7 billion worth of net buying. Weekly investments in money market funds meanwhile cooled to a net $25.04 billion during the week from a massive $78.85 billion in the previous week.

PBOC to Boost Financing Support for Tech, Consumption Growth
China's central bank pledged to strengthen financial support to key areas including tech and consumption, as it moves further away from its previous playbook of funneling loans to traditional industries such as real estate and infrastructure. The country's credit structure has undergone profound changes over the past decade, with the key driver for new loan growth shifting away from asset-heavy industries to the so-called five key priority sectors, the People's Bank of China said in its quarterly monetary policy report published Friday.
