Fresh record highs in U.S. stocks prompted investors to plow $22.9 billion into U.S.-listed exchange-traded funds last week. That brought year-to-date inflows up to $230.3 billion.

The S&amp;P 500 climbed above 5,300 for the first time ever last week as a better-than-feared inflation report eased investors worried about consumer prices and interest rates.

U.S. equity ETFs pulled in $14.7 billion of new money last week, leading all ETF categories. U.S. fixed income ETFs followed suit with weekly inflows of $5.2 billion.

The U.S. 10-year Treasury yield fell as low as 4.34% last week, significantly below the 4.7% high from April.

Meanwhile, nine of last week's 10 best-performing funds were crypto related, topped by the 13% gain in the [**First Trust SkyBridge Crypto Industry And Digital Economy ETF (CRPT)**](/crpt).

## S&amp;P 500 ETF In Demand 

Topping last week’s flows charts was a pair of S&amp;P 500 ETFs: the [**Vanguard S&amp;P 500 Index Fund (VOO)**](/voo) and the [**SPDR S&amp;P 500 ETF Trust (SPY)**](/spy), which brought in $2 billion and $1.8 billion, respectively, of new cash.

The [**Invesco QQQ Trust (QQQ)**](/qqq) was next, with inflows of $1.8 billion.

Along with the broader S&amp;P 500, the tech-heavy Nasdaq-100 also hit records last week. Key Nasdaq component Nvidia will report earnings this week.

Meanwhile, in terms of fixed income, the [**iShares iBoxx USD High Yield Corporate Bond ETF (HYG)**](/hyg) and the [**iShares iBoxx USD Investment Grade Corporate Bond ETF (LQD)**](/lqd) led the way, with weekly inflows of $1.2 billion and $1 billion, respectively.

## AMJ Tops Outflows

On the outflows side of the ledger, the [**JPMorgan Alerian MLP Index ETN (AMJ)**](/amj) was far and away the biggest loser, with redemptions of $2.8 billion.

The [**Technology Select Sector SPDR Fund (XLK)**](/xlk) and the [**Direxion Daily Semiconductor Bull 3X Shares (SOXL)**](/soxl) were next, each with redemptions of just under $700 million

The [**ProShares UltraPro QQQ (TQQQ)**](/tqqq) was another leveraged tech-focused fund to make the top 10 outflows list, with redemptions of more than $400 million.

For a full list of last week’s top inflows and outflows, see the tables below:
