GLD Shines, KRE Stumbles As Stocks See Rare Outflows

Investors added a net $1.1 billion to U.S.-listed ETFs during the week ending Friday, Oct. 17, according to FactSet data.
U.S. equity ETFs saw a rare weekly outflow, shedding $2.5 billion, while leveraged products lost another $631 million. In contrast, commodities ETFs attracted $1.8 billion, U.S. fixed income funds pulled in $1.6 billion, and international equity ETFs gathered $1.1 billion.
At the individual fund level, the SPDR S&P 500 ETF Trust (SPY) led the pack with $1.8 billion of inflows. Close behind was the SPDR Gold Shares (GLD), which took in $1.7 billion as gold prices surged past $4,300 per ounce, pushing year-to-date gains above 60%.
International equity ETFs remained in favor, with the JPMorgan BetaBuilders Europe ETF (BBEU) leading the category with nearly $700 million of inflows.
On the fixed income side, the iShares U.S. Treasury Bond ETF (GOVT) topped the list with $380 million of inflows, followed by the iShares iBoxx $ Investment Grade Corporate Bond ETF (LQD), which added $281 million.
Among the biggest outflows were the Invesco QQQ Trust (QQQ), the FT Vest U.S. Equity Buffer ETF – October (FOCT), and the SPDR S&P Regional Banking ETF (KRE). KRE was hit hard amid renewed jitters about the health of regional banks, sparking a brief sell-off across the group.
