The haul brought year-to-date inflows up to $145.2 billion. After several weeks of tossing money into the group, investors largely ignored U.S. equity ETFs this week. The group had net outflows of $143 million. On the other hand, U.S. fixed-income ETFs continued to steadily build assets thanks to inflows of $2 billion. International equity ETFs followed, with inflows of $1.3 billion. **10-Year Tops 3%** On the fixed-income front, the [iShares iBoxx USD Investment Grade Corporate Bond ETF (LQD)](https://www.etf.com/LQD), the [iShares iBoxx USD High Yield Corporate Bond ETF (HYG)](https://www.etf.com/hyg) and the [PIMCO Enhanced Short Maturity Active ETF (MINT)](https://www.etf.com/mint) were the biggest winners. The Federal Reserve kept its benchmark interest rate unchanged at Wednesday’s meeting, but upgraded its outlook for the U.S. economy, signaling a hike is likely in September. The U.S. 10-year Treasury yield briefly topped 3% for the first time since mid-June this week, while the two-year Treasury yield hit a decade-high of 2.69%. **Emerging Market ETF Rakes In Assets** In terms of equity ETFs, the [iShares Core MSCI Emerging Markets ETF (IEMG)](https://www.etf.com/iemg) easily took the No. 1 spot, with $1.4 billion of inflows. On a percentage basis, the [VanEck Vectors Semiconductor ETF (SMH)](https://www.etf.com/smh) took the lead. Its inflows of $536 million equaled a 73% jump in its AUM. The [VanEck Vectors Gold Miners ETF (GDX)](https://www.etf.com/gdx) was another notable winner, with inflows of $357 million. On the other hand, the [iShares MSCI EAFE ETF (EFA)](https://www.etf.com/efa), the [iShares NASDAQ Biotechnology ETF (IBB)](https://www.etf.com/ibb) and the [SPDR S&P Regional Banking ETF (KRE)](https://www.etf.com/kre) headlined the outflows list for the week.
