According to BlockBeats, on September 6, investors injected cash into U.S. money market funds for the fifth consecutive week, the latest sign of strong demand on the eve of a potential rate cut by the Federal Reserve. Data from the Investment Company Institute showed that as of the week of September 4, about $37 billion flowed into U.S. money market funds, bringing the recent inflows to about $165 billion. Total assets rose to a record $6.3 trillion from $6.26 trillion the previous week. Despite strong demand, the debate over whether money market funds will remain popular once U.S. policymakers begin to lower interest rates is heating up. The Federal Reserve is widely expected to cut interest rates later this month. The attractive returns brought by high interest rates have driven a surge in the size of U.S. money market funds.
