A strong week for stock markets fueled $8.2 billion in inflows into U.S.-listed exhange-traded funds in the week ending Thursday, Mar 3.  
  
The world's largest ETF by assets, the [SPDR S&amp;P 500 (SPY | A-98)](https://www.etf.com/SPY), took the top spot in terms of inflows, with $1.8 billion. However, its take wasn't the most impressive.  
  
**GLD &amp; Junk Bond Lead**  
  
That title belongs to the [SPDR Gold Trust (GLD | A-100)](https://www.etf.com/GLD), with its $1.3 billion in inflows. Week after week this year, investors have plowed enormous sums into the safe-haven gold ETF, and the past week was no exception.  
  
Also impressive were the inflows into the two largest junk bond ETFs, the [SPDR Barclays High Yield Bond ETF (JNK | C-68)](https://www.etf.com/JNK) and the [iShares iBoxx $ High Yield Corporate Bond ETF (HYG | B-68)](https://www.etf.com/HYG), of more than $1.1 billion each.  
  
All told, U.S. fixed-income ETFs had inflows of $2.5 billion in the week, which, combined with the $1.6 billion into commodity ETFs and $4.2 billion into U.S. equity ETFs, provided the bulk of the flows in the period.  
  
**Short-Term Treasury ETFs Lose**  
  
However, it wasn't all good for bond funds. While risky junk ETFs were in favor, safe-haven Treasury ETFs―particularly those focused on short-term maturities―were big losers.  
  
The [iShares Short Treasury Bond ETF (SHV | A-97)](https://www.etf.com/SHV) and the [PIMCO Enhanced Short Maturity Strategy ETF (MINT | B )](https://www.etf.com/MINT) had outflows of $1.22 billion and $422 million, respectively.
