5 Hot ETFs of Last Week
ETFs across various categories pulled in $4.4 billion in capital last week, pushing the year-to-date inflows to $532 billion. U.S. fixed-income ETFs led the way with $3.4 billion in inflows, followed by inflows of $2.4 billion in leveraged ETFs and $2.2 billion in U.S. equity ETFs.
Vanguard S&P 500 ETF (ARCA:VOO), Direxion Daily Semiconductor Bull 3x Shares (ARCA:SOXL), SPDR Bloomberg 1-3 Month T-Bill ETF (ARCA:BIL), Invesco QQQ Trust (NASDAQ: QQQ) and Schwab Intermediate-Term U.S. Treasury ETF (ARCA:SCHR) dominated the top creation list last week.
Wall Street witnessed a rollercoaster ride last week, dropping sharply and then climbing up. The S&P 500 recouped all its losses to end the week after the Aug 5 steep sell-off prompted by fears of a recession following weak jobs data. The Dow Jones Industrial Index shed 0.6% and the tech-heavy Nasdaq Composite Index fell 0.2% last week.
The batch of early last week's data showed weakening labor markets and a slump in manufacturing that spurred recession concerns and battered global stock markets. Though these data signal a slowdown, the U.S. economy is far from recession anytime soon. The latest data shows that U.S. services sector activity rebounded from a four-year low in July amid a rise in orders and employment. The ISM survey's new orders measure rebounded to 52.4 from 47.3 in June, which was the lowest since December 2022.
