5 Most-Loved ETFs of Last Week
Last week, ETFs pulled in a whopping $26.6 billion in capital, pushing year-to-date inflows to $381.1 billion. U.S. equity ETFs led the way higher, accumulating $17.5 billion in inflows, closely followed by inflows of $8 billion for U.S. fixed-income ETFs and $1.6 billion for international fixed-income ETF, per etf.com.
The U.S. stock market logged its fourth winning week in a row, with the tech-heavy Nasdaq Composite Index entering a new bull market. The slowdown in inflation last month brought much-needed relief to the stock market and perked up investor sentiment. The consumer price index jumped 8.5% year over year in July, down from a 9.1% year-over-year increase in June, which was the fastest increase since November 1981. This, coupled with recession fears, has spurred bets that the Fed could start lowering the pace of rate hikes (read: Nasdaq Enters Bull Market: ETFs to Tap the Rally).
Additionally, U.S. consumer sentiment improved in August from a record low earlier this summer. The University of Michigan's preliminary sentiment index rose to a three-month high of 55.1 from 51.5 in July.
