J.P. Morgan is claiming that inflows from retail investors are supporting the equity market. *Year-to-date* global total net inflows into equities have already outpaced the previous *Annual* record set in 2017. June through August has been particularly hot, seeing $10bn-$15bn retail inflows into US stocks per month. If inflows stop or reverse, especially from equity ETFs, JPM note it could be worrisome for the equity market. A secondary effect suggests older retail investors are supporting bond markets too, via rebalancing away from rising equities.

Potentially more explanation to come… watch this space.
