Both dollar figures above are equities only, on purpose. Across every asset class, volume reads $1.9B and net flow reads −$120.4M — but those are dominated by fixed income: a Treasury bill reaching maturity is disclosed as a sale, so one member rolling bills can outweigh every stock trade in Congress. Only 27% of the all-asset volume is actually stock. Right now Darrell Issa alone accounts for −$250.5M of the all-asset net flow — remove that one person and it changes sign.
Flow over time
Estimated dollars bought and sold each month. A tall column is usually one heavy filer, not the chamber moving together.
