The iShares Core International Aggregate Bond ETF (IAGG) pulled in $1.9 billion on Thursday, increasing its total assets to $9.3 billion, according to data provided by FactSet. The massive inflows came as markets closed nearly flat, with the S&P 500 slipping just 0.04% amid continued worries over rising Treasury yields and deficit spending.

The iShares MSCI EAFE Value ETF (EFV) attracted $1.3 billion, while the iShares 20+ Year Treasury Bond ETF (TLT) gained $872.7 million as the 30-year Treasury yield hit 5.16%, its highest since October 2023. The SPDR S&P 500 ETF Trust (SPY) pulled in $787.3 million despite market uncertainty.

The iShares Core S&P 500 ETF (IVV) saw outflows of $1.4 billion. The iShares MSCI Emerging Markets ex China ETF (EMXC) lost $501.3 million, while the Vanguard Intermediate-Term Treasury ETF (VGIT) experienced outflows of just under $242 million.

International fixed-income ETFs led with $2.2 billion in inflows, while international equity ETFs gained $2.4 billion. U.S. fixed income collected $1.6 billion, and commodities ETFs added $502.2 million. Overall, ETFs attracted $8.6 billion following the House passage of a tax bill that could add nearly $4 trillion to the deficit.
