Bank of America clients sold around $2.3 billion in U.S. equities last week, according to a note from bank strategist Jill Carey Hall on Tuesday.

Although the note failed to highlight reasons for the withdrawal, data compiled by Bank of America showed clients sold both single stocks and ETFs for the second consecutive week, while selling was broad-based across client groups including institutional, hedge funds, retail, and size segments.

The bank said buybacks accelerated as client repurchases gained steam and were slightly above seasonal trends for the first time in ten weeks.

Buybacks typically accelerate over the subsequent six weeks after earnings season begins, according to Hall’s note. 

The bank also said it expects no net contribution to earnings per share from buybacks this year.
