## [# US Equities Spark Weekly ETF Outflows](/sections/weekly-etf-flows/us-equities-spark-weekly-etf-outflows) # US Equities Spark Weekly ETF Outflows U.S.-listed ETFs had net outflows of nearly $5 billion this week. [![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) Mar 22, 2019 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 ETFs followed up on 2019’s largest weekly inflows with a modest reversal. In total, $4.8 billion flowed out of U.S.-listed ETFs, one week after they saw inflows of $37 billion. Year-to-date inflows slipped to $49.9 billion. This week’s outflows were largely fueled by U.S. equity ETFs. About $6.5 billion came out of that segment, while a much more modest $875 million came out of international equity ETFs. On the other hand, U.S. fixed-income ETFs took in a solid $2.4 billion, offsetting the $345 outflow from international fixed-income ETFs. **Volatile Markets** Markets were volatile this week. The S&P 500 reached the highest levels since early October on Thursday, before plunging on Friday. Concerns about economic growth and an inverted yield curve sparked the sell-off. Bond prices surged and the yield on the 10-year Treasury bond dipped to as little as 2.42%, the lowest level in nearly 13 months. The yield on the 10-year briefly fell below that of the three-month Treasury. The so-called inverted yield curve, which often takes place before recessions, spooked investors. The biggest flows winners during the week included the [Invesco QQQ Trust (QQQ)](https://www.etf.com/QQQ), the [iShares Core S&P 500 ETF (IVV)](https://www.etf.com/ivv) and the [iShares Russell 2000 ETF (IWM)](https://www.etf.com/iwm). Biggest losers included the [iShares Select Dividend ETF (DVY)](https://www.etf.com/dvy), the [Vanguard Value ETF (VTV)](https://www.etf.com/vtv) and the [Vanguard Mid-Cap ETF (VO)](https://www.etf.com/vo).
