Overall, ETFs pulled out $6.7 billion in capital last week, taking year-to-date inflows down to $321.7 billion. U.S. equity ETFs led the way with $8.1 billion in outflows. Meanwhile, U.S. fixed-income ETFs saw strong inflows of $1.1 billion and U.S. international ETFs gathered $200 million in their asset base, per etf.com.
SPDR S&P 500 ETF Trust (SPY - Free Report) , iShares Russell 2000 ETF (IWM - Free Report) , Invesco Senior Loan ETF (BKLN - Free Report) , Invesco S&P 500 Equal Weight ETF (RSP - Free Report) and Vanguard Total Bond Market ETF (BND - Free Report) dominated the top creation list last week.
Wall Street ended the week on a downbeat note. The S&P 500 and the Nasdaq Composite Index notched their worst week since March, declining 2.9% and 3.6%, respectively, while the Dow Jones fell 1.9%.
Most of the decline was due to the anticipation of higher rates for a longer time. The Fed warned of one more rate hike this year if it needed to control inflation and curtailed expectations for rate cuts in 2024. The news has pushed up yields, leading to a sell-off in the stock market. With bonds offering better interest, investors are less willing to pay high prices for stocks, especially the higher-priced ones or those with anticipated long-term growth. Notably, 10-year yields surged to 4.44% and 2-year yields reached 5.10% last week (read: Bet on Quality ETFs as Fed Keeps Rate Steady, View Hawkish).
Additionally, the government shutdown situation built up late last week after House Republican leaders sent the chamber into recess. A shutdown would hurt fourth-quarter GDP.

It tracks the S&P 500 Index and holds 503 stocks in its basket, with each accounting for no more than 7.1% of the assets. SPDR S&P 500 ETF Trust is heavy on the information technology sector with a 27.3% share, while healthcare, financials and consumer discretionary round off the next three spots with a double-digit allocation each.
