Image: Bigstock
Broad equity ETFs continued to pull money ahead of the Thanksgiving week despite inflation concerns. This is especially true as ETFs overall gathered about $10.4 billion capital last week (ending Nov 12-18), bringing in inflows of $772.4 billion year to date. U.S. equity ETFs led the way higher last week with $3.5 billion inflows, closely followed by $2.6 billion in U.S. fixed-income ETFs and $2.5 billion in international equity ETFs, per etf.com.
iShares Core S&P 500 ETF (IVV - Free Report), Vanguard Total Stock Market ETF (VTI - Free Report), Vanguard S&P 500 ETF (VOO - Free Report), Invesco S&P 500 Low Volatility ETF (SPLV - Free Report), and KraneShares CSI China Internet ETF (KWEB - Free Report) dominated the top creation list last week.
Stock Market Synopsys
Wall Street saw a mixed trading last week with the S&P 500 and tech-heavy Nasdaq Composite Index climbing 0.3% and 1.2%, respectively, and Dow Jones losing 1.3%.
Even though the fears of fresh lockdowns to curb the spread of COVID-19 in Europe and higher prices kept the stock markets edgy, the latest batch of earnings from technology companies and retailers has powered the bullish sentiments. U.S. retail sales in October surged for the third consecutive month and jumped the most since March. Americans started to shop early to avoid the shortage of goods due to the ongoing pandemic. A wider reach of vaccinations has also expedited economic reopening and accelerated traveling.
Further, the stocks get a boost in anticipation of an increase in government spending. President Biden signed the $1 trillion bipartisan infrastructure bill into law on Nov 15. Notably, the S&P 500 and Nasdaq hit new highs last week.
