The world's two biggest exchange-traded funds were the most
popular ETFs in the past week, as investors flocked to stocks and
to gold amid speculation that the Federal Reserve might be on the
verge of soon launching a new round of quantitative easing.
The SPDR S&P 500 ETF (NYSEArca:SPY) and SPDR Gold Shares
(NYSEArca:GLD), the gold ETF, gathered $2.29 billion and $1.20
billion, respectively. Overall, net inflows were positive to the
tune of $6.69 billion, and total U.S.-listed ETF assets climbed to
$1.235 trillion in the five trading days ended Aug. 23, from $1.228
trillion in the prior week, according to data compiled by
IndexUniverse.
Those flows were enough to offset declining stock markets that
moved lower in range-bound trade amid all the speculation about
what the Fed might do at its next policy meeting. The Dow Jones
industrial average fell 192.62 points, or 1.4 percent, to end the
five-day trading period at 13,250.11.
Equities as an asset class pulled in more than $4 billion, while
commodities added $1.43 billion.
The least-popular ETF in the past week was the SPDR Dow Jones
Industrial Average Trust (NYSEArca:DIA), which suffered outflows of
$382.3 million.
Right behind DIA in the No. 2 slot was the iShares Barclays 20+
Year Treasury Bond Fund (NYSEArca:TLT). The $3.5 billion bond fund
recorded redemptions of $235.0 million.
