Commodities see $2.2 b outflows in March

LONDON, (Reuters): Net investment outflows in commodities were $2.2 billion in March after net inflows of $6.2 billion the previous month, Barclays said on Tuesday.

The outflows last month were driven by weakness in commodity index swaps, Barclays said in a statement.

Net investment inflows in the first quarter were $6.9 billion, the strongest quarter in a year, it added.
