Barclays says investors' preference for bonds is heating up but factors such as profitability still support the inflow of funds into the stock market.

Barclays strategists say that investors' preference for bonds is increasing, but corporate profits, labor market resilience, and the potential policy shift by the Federal Reserve still support inflow of funds into the stock market. Emmanuel Cau's team wrote in a report that history shows that the flow of funds in the stock market is usually low before the US election, and the seasonal factors in September are negative. However, they pointed out that the stabilization of earnings per share should support the flow of funds in the stock market, and unless there is a sharp decline in employment data, we believe that the high allocation to stocks is unlikely to be reduced. August employment data will be a key catalyst for any potential intensification.
