The U.S. ETF industry posted its second straight week of net outflows in the Good Friday-shortened trading week ending April 14, driven primarily by deep outflows in the three largest S&amp;P 500-tracking funds. It is the first time the industry has posted two straight weeks of net outflows since late March 2020.

U.S.-listed funds posted net outflows of $11.2 billion, according to ETF.com data provider FactSet. The industry now has net inflows of $187.6 billion year-to-date and held $6.9 trillion in assets under management as of last Thursday.

**S&amp;P Rout**

The S&amp;P 500 index lost 1.8% last week amid another red-hot inflation reading, giving more reason for the Fed to issue a 50 basis point hike to its prime rate in two weeks’ time and raising fears in the market over potentially hiking into a recession.

U.S. equities as an asset class lost $17.5 billion, led by the [**SPDR S&amp;P 500 ETF Trust (SPY)**](https://etf.com/spy) shedding $5.8 billion and the [**iShares Core S&amp;P 500 ETF (IVV)**](https://etf.com/ivv) losing $5.6 billion. The [**Vanguard S&amp;P 500 ETF (VOO)**](https://etf.com/voo) far less losses than its counterparts, with a $2.56 billion outflow.

The tech-heavy [**Invesco QQQ Trust (QQQ)**](https://etf.com/qqq) struggled alongside the S&amp;P 500, seeing $2.5 billion of outflows.

Investor dollars allocated to broad equities rotated instead to the [**iShares MSCI USA Min Vol Factor ETF (USMV)**](https://etf.com/usmv) and the [**iShares Core High Dividend ETF (HDV)**](https://etf.com/hdv), adding a combined $1.1 billion.

**Mixed Credit Outlook**

Corporate bonds were a hotbed of action, with the [**iShares iBoxx USD Investment Grade Corporate Bond ETF (LQD)**](https://etf.com/lqd) adding $975.8 million to lead inflows among all ETFs. BlackRock’s sister fund for junk bonds went in the opposite direction, as the [**iShares iBoxx USD High Yield Corporate Bond ETF (HYG)**](https://etf.com/hyg) lost $1.2 billion in the period.

The [**SPDR Bloomberg 1-3 Month T-Bill ETF (BIL)**](https://www.etf.com/BIL) added nearly $750 million in the week to round out fixed income gainers as some investors sought the safety of near-maturity bonds, while the [**JPMorgan Inflation Managed Bond ETF (JCPI)**](https://etf.com/jcpi) lost just under $641 million.

**Semiconductor Bets Ramp Up**

Investors snapped up exposure to the semiconductor industry last week, betting that the downtrodden stocks would recover during the earnings season. The [**VanEck Semiconductor ETF (SMH)**](https://etf.com/smh) added $883 million in the period, while the triple-leveraged [**Direxion Daily Semiconductor Bull 3X Shares (SOXL)**](https://etf.com/soxl) added $557.8 million as part of its nearly [$1 billion](https://www.etf.com/sections/features-and-news/investors-pour-1b-triple-leveraged-semiconductor-etf) in net inflows in the past several days.
