Schwab STAX posts steepest monthly drop since May 2025 as clients turn bearish

Schwab STAX retail trading-activity index fell to 56.04 in March from 57.32 in February, marking steepest monthly drop since May 2025.
Risk appetite softened as investors turned slightly bearish during Iran war, with index still near recent highs outside February.
ETF demand rose as five of top 10 client net-buys were diversified funds, signaling shift away from single-stock selection during volatility.
Equity backdrop worsened as S&P 500 dropped more than 7% in March, with late-month selling tied to oil prices near or above $100 per barrel.
Sector flows favored Industrials, Financials, Consumer Discretionary while Information Technology, Energy, Communication Services saw net outflows.
