New equity supply running $1.5 billion per week, with U.S. focus equity fund inflows now about $0.7 billion per week (no longer in balance).
Supply/Demand Considerations
Bond funds experienced new redemptions in March, but U.S. focus equity funds still experiencing significant inflows.

New equity supply reached record levels in 1993, but in January the flow of new equity offerings dried up. Mutual fund flows not as strong as in January, but pretty close. International flow still strong.

Don't expect to see net mutual fund redemptions yet. Public still expected to buy on weakness.
