Fluctuations in global stock markets as capital shifts from Wall Street to Europe and Japan.

Global financial markets, especially Wall Street, have witnessed significant disruptions in recent weeks, driven by the changing decisions of U.S. President Donald Trump, including the imposition of new tariffs, some temporarily suspended, as well as raising tariffs on Chinese imports to record levels.

In this context, analysts at "Bank of America" revealed the capital outflows from the U.S. market, with U.S. stocks recording outflows of $8.9 billion in the week ending April 30.

Experts explained in a client memo dated May 1 that "for every $100 that entered U.S. stocks since the 2024 elections, $5 exited in the past three weeks."

Conversely, European and Japanese markets saw positive investment inflows, with European stocks attracting $3.4 billion, while Japanese stocks received inflows of $4.4 billion, the highest since April 2024, according to Wall Street bank data.

The data also showed an increase in investors' risk appetite, with cryptocurrencies attracting inflows of $2.3 billion, while high-yield bonds received $3.9 billion.

Meanwhile, both gold and U.S. Treasury bonds saw total outflows of $6 billion, reflecting a shift in investor preferences towards higher-yielding assets.
