$3.6B in institutional selling, $1.3B from hedge funds, $200M of retail buying, the imbalance is glaring

Institutional investors are cashing in gains:

Investors sold -$4.7 billion of US equities last week, driven by single stocks.

Outflows from single stocks rose by $500 million, to -$5.7 billion, making the last 2-week outflow the 3rd-largest since 2008.

This was led by institutional investors who dumped -$3.6 billion, the most since June, after -$1.4 billion in the prior week.

Hedge funds sold -$1.3 billion, posting their 3rd consecutive weekly outflow.

Meanwhile, retail investors turned to buying for the first time in four weeks, at +$200 million.

Wall Street is selling to Main Street again.
