73% of Global Stock Money is Coming to Europe as Iran Threatens the Region
European equity funds attracted $13.52 billion in the latest week, accounting for 72.6% of global net equity inflows, as investors continued rotating away from tech and into Europe. The inflows came amid easing regional sentiment, but the article highlights a geopolitical overhang: reports that Iran has assessed possible attacks on U.S. military targets in Europe if the conflict escalates. Mentioned locations include Bulgaria and Cyprus. The piece suggests the inflow trend reflects relative investor preference for European assets despite rising war-risk concerns, with analysts describing the threat as real but constrained by missile range and arsenal limitations. Market impact is mainly a support for European equities and a warning that geopolitical escalation could quickly reverse risk appetite.
