  • Reversing a big YTD trend, U.S. investors pulled nearly $4B out of Europe-focused ETFs over the past week. Among the reasons, suggests Markit's Simon Colvin: Europe is seen as more exposed to Russian sanctions, anemic European growth, and a strengthening U.S. dollar. "The only certainty is that a growing portion of American investors think that their assets are better invested outside of Europe, something which wasn't the case six weeks ago."
  • Interestingly, it's the "core" Eurozone countries like Germany (NYSEARCA:EWG) and France (NYSEARCA:EWQ) with which U.S. investors are least interested, while Italy (NYSEARCA:EWI) and Spain (NYSEARCA:EWP) have seen net inflows over the past three months.
