In their "Flow Show" note Friday, BofA analysts told investors that tech stocks saw the largest inflow in 10 weeks.

$2.3 billion flowed into tech stocks, according to analysts, with tech's "Magnificent 7" up 93% vs. U.S. regional banks. However, they stated that "tech = H2 trouble rather than an era of new AI rules," as excess liquidity will run out for Wall Street.

Analysts also revealed there was a 28th straight week of inflows to treasuries, representing the longest streak since 2010. $5.2B has flowed into treasuries in the past 28 weeks, according to BofA.

Meanwhile, U.S. home mortgage applications dropped to the lowest since 1995 as the "30-year mortgage rate climbs to highest (7.3%) since 2000; but “fixing” rates means 60% of homeowners have mortgage rates <4%, only 9% have rates >6%," said analysts. "Still rates having an impact now and unemployment rate more important than interest rates for housing market...double-top in homebuilding stocks is recession signal."
