>>>Investment flows out of US equities markets

US investors' purchases of foreign equities have outstripped foreign buying of US stocks in the past year, new data show.

According to figures from UBS, the Swiss-based investment bank, and the US Treasury, the outflow from the US stock market was $41bn in the 12 months to July, the first time capital has left the US market since 1997.

Where foreign investors are still buying into the US, much of the money has been going into Treasury bonds. The reverse in equity flows follows a decline in confidence in US companies.

Analysts believe the image of US equities has taken a battering as the so-called "new paradigm" - that technology has enabled the US to sustain a higher level of long-term non-inflationary growth - has proved elusive, while scandals such as Enron have compounded the disillusion.<<<
