Inflows into U.S.-listed ETFs were only modest this week, as the rally in stocks stalled with the S&amp;P 500 around the 2,100 mark. In the week ending Thursday, April 21, total inflows were $1.1 billion.  
  
Outflows of $913 million from U.S. equity ETFs were offset by inflows of $369 million into international equity ETFs and inflows of $1.4 billion into U.S. fixed-income ETFs.  
  
**VOO Tops Inflows**  
  
Amidst the lackluster interest in ETFs this week, not a single product registered an inflow greater than $400 million. The [Vanguard S&amp;P 500 (VOO | A-98)](https://www.etf.com/VOO) gained $365 million, while the [iPath S&amp;P 500 VIX Short-Term Futures ETN (VXX | B-47)](https://www.etf.com/VXX) added $317 million.  
  
Also in favor were the [iShares MSCI USA Minimum Volatility ETF (USMV | A-73)](https://www.etf.com/USMV), with inflows of $262 million, and the [iShares U.S. Preferred Stock ETF (PFF | B)](https://www.etf.com/PFF), with inflows of $231 million.  
  
**SPY &amp; QQQ Top Outflows**  
  
On the outflows side, the [SPDR S&amp;P 500 ETF (SPY | A-98)](https://www.etf.com/SPY) was the biggest loser, with $1.4 billion coming out of the fund. That was closely followed by $1.2 billion in outflows for the [PowerShares QQQ (QQQ | A-65)](https://www.etf.com/QQQ).  
  
Other notable names on the outflows list included the [WisdomTree Europe Hedged Equity ETF (HEDJ | B-47)](https://www.etf.com/HEDJ), the [SPDR S&amp;P Oil &amp; Gas Exploration &amp; Production ETF (XOP | A-66)](https://www.etf.com/XOP) and the [United States Oil Fund (USO | B-100)](https://www.etf.com/USO).
