ETFs across various categories pulled in $62.5 billion in capital last week, pushing year-to-date inflows to $292 billion. U.S. equity ETFs led the way with $41.6 billion in inflows, followed by $7.6 billion in international ETFs and $5.9 billion in U.S. fixed-income ETFs.

iShares Core S&P 500 ETF IVV, Schwab U.S. Dividend Equity ETF SCHD, Vanguard S&P 500 ETF VOO, Vanguard High Dividend Yield ETF VYM and Vanguard Mid-Cap ETF VO dominated the top creation list last week.

The solid inflows came as the U.S. stock market rebounded last week, recovering from its brief dip into correction territory. The S&P 500 snapped out of a four-week losing streak triggered by trade policy concerns and recession fears, rising 0.5%. The Dow Jones climbed 1.2% and the Nasdaq Composite Index inched up 0.2%.

The Fed lifted confidence amid economic uncertainty, sparking optimism in the U.S. stock market after the meeting. Chair Jerome Powell kept interest rates steady and maintained the two-rate cut projections for this year. The decision was not as hawkish as investors feared, fueling the stock market rally (read: 5 Undervalued ETFs to Ride on Powell's Market Optimism). 

Although the central bank expects higher inflation and slower economic growth, the Fed chair reassured investors that the potential effect of tariffs on inflation is likely to be short-lived or “transitory,” and recession risks remain low.

"The economy seems to be healthy," Powell said.
