LONDON (Reuters) - Investors pulled $19.5 billion out of equities in the week to May 15, while bonds added $5.1 billion in their 19th week of inflows, Bank of America Merrill Lynch strategists said on Friday.

Emerging market debt outflows reached $2.9 billion, the biggest since June 2018, BAML strategists said, citing EPFR flows data.
