Sectoral funds, however, witnessed $1.58 billion worth of outflows, with the technology sector experiencing $406 million worth of net selling. The financial sector still gained a net $818 million in inflows.

Investors, however, ditched money market funds of a net $52.48 billion, halting a three-weeks buying trend.
