[![sumit](/sites/default/files/styles/author_image_icon/public/2023-03/Sumit_0.png?itok=SO-7S5SH "sumit")](/authors/sumit-roy) [By Sumit Roy ](/authors/sumit-roy) Feb 03, 2017 Edited by: Sumit Roy [ + Follow ](/etf/login) Share Email LinkedIn Facebook X (Twitter) googletag.cmd.push(function() { googletag.display('js-dfp-tag-article_page_302x26'); }); Loading Inflows into ETFs continued at a blistering pace during the past week. As a [previous article](https://www.etf.com/sections/monthly-etf-flows/jan-flows-favor-fixed-income-etfs) on ETF.com pointed out, January inflows totaled a whopping $40.1 billion, leaps and bounds above the $350 million seen in the same month a year ago. This week's flows, which measures the week ending Feb. 2 and includes data from January and February, was $11.7 billion, according to FactSet. Of that, $5.3 billion went into U.S. equity ETFs; $3.6 billion went into U.S. fixed-income ETFs; $1.9 billion went into international equity ETFs; $460 million went into international fixed-income ETFs; and $420 million went into commodity ETFs. The week's across-the-board buying of ETFs took place as the S&P 500 neared its recent record highs and the U.S. 10-year bond yield remained flat week-over-week. **From QQQ To GLD** In terms of individual flows, there wasn't any one ETF that was far ahead of the pack this week, but there were many that had creations in the $300 million to $1 billion range. The tech-heavy [PowerShares QQQ Trust (QQQ)](https://www.etf.com/QQQ) was at the top of the heap, with inflows of $924 million. Other equity ETFs in the weekly top 10 included the [Vanguard FTSE Emerging Markets ETF (VWO)](https://www.etf.com/VWO), with inflows of $583 million; the [iShares Russell 2000 ETF (IWM)](https://www.etf.com/IWM), with inflows of $440 million; the [iShares Core S&P Mid-Cap ETF (IJH)](https://www.etf.com/IJH), with inflows of $421 million; the [Health Care Select Sector SPDR Fund (XLV)](https://www.etf.com/XLV), with inflows of $392 million; and the [iShares Core S&P Small Cap ETF (IJR)](https://www.etf.com/IJR), with inflows of $354 million. There were also three fixed-income funds on the list. The [iShares iBoxx $ Investment Grade Corporate Bond ETF (LQD)](https://www.etf.com/LQD) took in $760 million; the [Vanguard Intermediate-Term Corporate Bond Index Fund (VCIT)](https://www.etf.com/VCIT) took in $667 million; and the [SPDR Barclays High Yield Bond ETF (JNK)](https://www.etf.com/JNK) took in $497 million. The [SPDR Gold Trust (GLD)](https://www.etf.com/GLD) was the sole commodity name on the list, with creations of $473 million. Gold prices rose more than 2% during the week. **Sector Funds See Outflows** On the other side of the ledger, a handful of sector funds registered notable outflows during the period. The [Industrial Select Sector SPDR Fund (XLI)](https://www.etf.com/XLI), the [Technology Select Sector SPDR Fund (XLK)](https://www.etf.com/XLK), the [Vanguard REIT Index Fund (VNQ)](https://www.etf.com/VNQ) and the [Consumer Staples Select SPDR Fund (XLP)](https://www.etf.com/XLP) had outflows of $150 million to $300 million each. Meanwhile, the [iShares iBoxx $ High Yield Corporate Bond ETF (HYG)](https://www.etf.com/HYG), with outflows of $287 million; the [iShares 7-10 Year Treasury Bond ETF (IEF)](https://www.etf.com/IEF) and the [iShares Core U.S. Aggregate Bond ETF (AGG)](https://www.etf.com/AGG) were the three fixed-income names to make the outflows list. Finally, the [VelocityShares Daily Inverse VIX Short-Term ETN (XIV)](https://www.etf.com/XIV) saw outflows of $151 million, representing 22.8% of its assets under management, the largest percentage decrease on the list.
