Bond ETFs drew $13.2 billion in weekly inflows, boosting AI and global picks

A TD Securities-cited roundup said bond ETFs gathered $13.2 billion last week, alongside pieces on AI trades and international value ETFs.

ETF Trends highlighted the topics that drew the most attention on its platform over the prior week, led by an AI-focused piece on semiconductors.

The No. 1 story centered on SOXL, a leveraged semiconductor ETF with 3X exposure, arguing the trade could benefit if AI-related stocks see a resurgence after being out of favor earlier in the summer, according to ETF Trends.

The second most read article examined whether investors should extend the U.S. value-stock focus to foreign markets, pointing to an actively managed international value ETF, Tweedy, Browne International Insider + Value ETF (ICPY).

ETF Trends also noted continued interest in small caps after the Russell 2000 hit an all-time high, and said fixed income demand surged with bond ETFs gathering $13.2 billion in weekly inflows, citing TD Securities, plus a separate Fidelity strategists article on the firm’s 2026 market outlook and its “rational optimism” stance for the second half.
