U.S.-listed ETFs continud their streak of gathering assets, as another $12.5 billion flowed into the space this week. On net, year-to-date inflows now stand at $242.7 billion, according to the latest data from FactSet. That's ahead of the $143.2 billion seen at this same time last year.

 The S&amp;P 500 hit a 5-month high this week, but ETF investors were net sellers of U.S. equities. A modest $34 million flowed out of that segment during the week ending Thursday, July 23.

 International equity ETFs fared better, picking up $2.1 billion of fresh inflows. At the same time, investors continued racing into U.S. fixed income ETFs and gold.

 Weekly inflows for U.S. fixed income ETFs totaled $7 billion, led by flows into the **[iShares iBoxx USD High Yield Corporate Bond ETF (HYG)](https://www.etf.com/hyg)**, the **[iShares Core U.S. Aggregate Bond ETF (AGG)](https://www.etf.com/agg)** and the **[iShares iBoxx USD Investment Grade Corporate Bond ETF (LQD)](https://www.etf.com/lqd)**.

 AGG and LQD rallied to record highs this week, while HYG hit its loftiest level since March. The U.S. 10-year Treasury bond yield hovered just above record lows, while the 5-year Treasury yield hit all-time lows (bond prices and yields move inversely). Credit spreads continued to narrow.

**Inflows For Precious Metals ETFs**

 Fixed income wasn't the only asset class benefiting from safe haven inflows. The **[SPDR Gold Trust (GLD)](https://www.etf.com/GLD)**, the **[iShares Silver Trust (SLV)](https://www.etf.com/slv)** and the **[iShares Gold Trust (IAU)](https://www.etf.com/iau)** all made the top creations list for the week as investors piled into precious metals.

 Gold futures closed at a [record high](https://www.etf.com/sections/features-and-news/gold-sets-new-record-high-price) on Friday, while silver traded at a [seven-year high](https://www.etf.com/sections/features-and-news/silver-etfs-surge-gold).
