ETFs across various categories pulled in $17.7 billion in capital last week, pushing year-to-date inflows to more than $27 billion. U.S. fixed-income ETFs led the way with inflows of $7.2 billion, followed by inflows of $5.9 billion in U.S. equity ETFs and $1.9 billion in international fixed-income ETFs.
Vanguard S&P 500 ETF (VOO - Free Report) , Vanguard Large Cap ETF (VV - Free Report) , iShares 20+ Year Treasury Bond ETF (TLT - Free Report) , Vanguard Total Stock Market ETF (VTI - Free Report) and BlackRock's iShares Bitcoin Trust (IBIT - Free Report) dominated the top creation list last week.
The S&P 500, Dow Jones Industrial Average and the Nasdaq Composite wrapped up the second consecutive weekly decline. The domestically focused small-cap Russell 2000 index slipped into correction territory, declining 10.4% from its Nov. 25 peak.
Inflation fears, uncertainty surrounding future Fed rate cuts and ambiguity over Trump’s tariff policies took a toll on the stock market. The blockbuster jobs data sparked fears of inflation and cast doubt on further interest rate cuts. The United States added better-than-expected 256,000 jobs in December and unemployment dropped to 4.1% from 4.2% in November.
A surge in Treasury yields also weighed on the stock market as higher yields increased borrowing costs for companies and households. The 10-year yields spiked to the highest level since late 2023. Additionally, uncertainties surrounding President-elect Donald Trump’s potential approach to imposing higher tariffs on China and other nations have heightened investor caution, particularly with the Jan. 20 inauguration just days away (read: Inverse Treasury ETFs Rallying on Spike in Yields).
Declining consumer sentiment at the start of the new year also added to the chaos. This signals concern on the inflation front. A University of Michigan survey showed that consumer sentiment dropped to 73.2 in January from 74 in December.
