## [# 'GOVT’ Bolsters Weekly ETF Inflows ](/sections/weekly-etf-flows/govt-bolsters-weekly-etf-inflows) # 'GOVT’ Bolsters Weekly ETF Inflows Weekly ETF inflows totaled nearly $9 billion. [![ETF.com](/sites/default/files/styles/author_image_icon/public/2023-12/etf.com_400x400.png?itok=LO34LQE1)](/contributors/etfcom-staff) [By ETF.com Staff](/contributors/etfcom-staff) Apr 12, 2019 Edited by: ETF.com Staff [ + Follow ](/etf/login) Share Email LinkedIn Facebook X (Twitter) googletag.cmd.push(function() { googletag.display('js-dfp-tag-article_page_302x26'); }); Loading Fresh six-month highs in the U.S. stock market encouraged investors to plow $9 billion into U.S.-listed ETFs this week, including $7.5 billion into U.S. equity ETFs. The S&P 500 broke above the 2,900 level for the first time since last October, buoyed by a solid start to the corporate earnings season and fading concerns about economic growth and interest rates. The U.S. 10-year Treasury yield spiked to a three-week high near 2.55%. Investors responded by putting $1.3 billion into U.S. fixed-income ETFs this week. Year-to-date net inflows for all ETFs now stand at $68.2 billion, compared to $71.2 billion at this same time last year. **‘SPY’ Beats Out ‘GOVT’** A familiar sight on top of the leaderboard was the [SPDR S&P 500 ETF Trust (SPY)](https://www.etf.com/SPY). Its $3.4 billion in inflows easily outpaced the rest of the pack. Coming in at No. 2 was a less familiar fund, the [iShares U.S. Treasury Bond ETF (GOVT)](https://www.etf.com/govt), which picked up $869 million. The [JPMorgan BetaBuilders Canada ETF (BBCA)](https://www.etf.com/bbca) and the [JPMorgan BetaBuilders Europe ETF (BBEU)](https://www.etf.com/bbeu) also were in favor, with inflows of $700 million and $626 million, respectively. **Outflows** On the outflows side, the [iShares MSCI EAFE ETF (EFA)](https://www.etf.com/efa) shed the most assets—$1.5 billion. It was followed by the [iShares 1-3 Year Treasury Bond ETF (SHY)](https://www.etf.com/shy), the [iShares JP Morgan USD Emerging Markets Bond ETF (EMB)](https://www.etf.com/emb) and the [iShares Global Tech ETF (IXN)](https://www.etf.com/ixn).
