U.S. Retail Equity Investors Bounce From Heavy Selling To Buying In April

  • Retail investors bounced from heavy US equity selling to gradually buying stocks in April, likely reflecting a mixed and uncertain reaction to the Trump administration's tariffs announced early in the month. In the first week of April, as President Trump announced higher tariffs on nearly all global trading partners, retail investors sold off more than a net $7.48 billion, and bought a net $7.32 billion over the following 3 weeks.
