Next week’s US inflation data will mark a turning point for the equity rally at a time when investors are swapping stocks for bonds amid the specter of a recession, according to Bank of America Corp. strategists.

Global equity funds had outflows of $7.4 billion in the week through Feb. 8, according to a note from the bank that cited EPFR Global data. Cash funds also saw redemptions at $10.1 billion, while $7.4 billion entered bonds.
