5 ETFs That Garnered Investors' Love Last Week
Overall, ETFs pulled in $15.4 billion in capital last week, taking year-to-date inflows to $275.9 billion. U.S. equity ETFs led the way higher with $9.2 billion in inflows, closely followed by $4.8 billion in U.S. fixed-income ETFs and $1.6 billion in international equity ETFs, per etf.com.
iShares Core S&P Mid-Cap ETF IJH, iShares 20+ Year Treasury Bond ETF TLT, iShares Core S&P 500 ETF IVV, Vanguard S&P 500 ETF VOO and iShares S&P 500 Growth ETF IVW dominated the top asset creation list last week.
The U.S. stocks ended last week on a positive note, with the Dow Jones Industrial Average and S&P 500 closing out the third winning week in a row. The solid performance was driven by cooling inflation and stronger-than-expected earnings reports that supported the case that the U.S. could avoid a recession.
Additionally, the upbeat GDP data added to the strength. The American economy surprisingly picked up steam in the second quarter, thanks to resilience among consumers and businesses in the face of high interest rates. This is especially true as the GDP grew 2.4% annually from 2% growth in the first quarter (read: 5 ETFs to Ride On Solid Q2 Economic Growth).
