    U.S. equities are rallying in a vacuum of money flows, which some strategists and traders say is a sign of losses to come.

    In the week through Wednesday, $7.2 billion was pulled from U.S. stock funds, the ninth withdrawal in the last 10 weeks, according to data compiled by Bank of America Corp. and EPFR Global. At the same time, the Standard & Poor’s 500 Index has climbed 3.8 percent from a low in March and the Nasdaq Composite Index has jumped to a record.

    While U.S. stocks have spent long stretches of the past six years rallying without the help of fresh mutual fund money, Bank of America and Exane BNP Paribas say the withdrawals show rising concern as the Federal Reserve weighs raising interest rates. Ian Richards of Exane says U.S. equities are especially vulnerable after going three years without a 10 percent retreat.
