April 6 (Reuters) - U.S. equity funds witnessed substantial inflows in the seven days to April ‌1 as worries over the Middle East ‌war eased temporarily after President Donald Trump indicated that the United ​States was nearing the completion of its objectives for the war.

Investors bought U.S. equity funds of a net $7.05 billion after about $36.95 billion worth of net purchases ‌in the prior ⁠week, data from LSEG Lipper showed.

Investors were, however, risk averse on Monday as ⁠Trump ramped up his threats to destroy civilian infrastructure over the weekend, including power plants and bridges ​in Iran, ​if the strategic Strait ​of Hormuz is not ‌reopened by Tuesday.

U.S. large-cap equity funds attracted $14.67 billion in the week to April 1, in a second successive week of net purchases. Investors, however, ditched small-cap, mid-cap and sectoral funds of a net $1.34 billion, $1.09 ‌billion and $3.82 billion, respectively.

Bond funds ​faced the first weekly net ​sales since December ​31, 2025, to the tune of $10.17 billion.

Short-to-intermediate ‌investment-grade funds saw their ​first weekly net ​disposal in 18 weeks, worth $5.92 billion. Investors also divested general domestic taxable fixed income funds ​of a net $1.25 ‌billion.

Money market funds, meanwhile, attracted $5.88 billion, the ​sixth weekly inflow in seven weeks.
