Global equity funds drew massive inflows for a second week in the seven days to Dec. 29 as investors welcomed signs that the economic impact from the spread of the Omicron COVID-19 variant would not be as significant as feared.

The funds pulled in $30.08 billion in net buying, compared with purchases of $35.83 billion in the previous week, which was their largest weekly inflow in nine months.
