Investors poured $1.78 billion into the S&P 500 ETF (NYSEArca: SPY) on Friday, as total ETF assets rose on net inflows and a stock market that climbed almost 1 percent  on hopes the Federal Reserve might implement new stimulus to an economy rendered vulnerable by the eurozone’s debt crisis.

helping lift total ETF assets as rising net inflows and a positive stock market jumped in hopes on added stimulus from the Federal Reserve and in preparation of this past Sunday’s parliamentary elections in Greece.

Net inflows of $1.63 billion – which included money going into ETFs focused on financials, health and energy -- brought total U.S.-listed ETF assets to more than $1.169 trillion, from almost $1.160 trillion on Thursday, June 14, according to data compiled by IndexUniverse.

The Dow Jones industrial average added 115 points, or 0.91, to close at 12,767.17, as investors continued to hope for another round of quantitative easing from the Federal Reserve. They are fretting about the integrity of Greece and the rest of the eurozone and also concerned that U.S. economic data is softening – notably reports on industrial production and consumer sentiment.

The Financial Select Sector SPDR Fund (NYSEArca: XLF) and the SPDR S&P Oil & Gas Exploration & Production ETF (NYSEArca: XOP) held the Nos. 2 and 3 positions on IndexUniverse’s “Top 10 Creations” list, pulling in $206.5 billion and 167.62 billion, respectively.

The PowerShares QQQ Trust (NasdaqGM: QQQ) of Nasdaq’s 100-biggest nonfinancial companies was Friday’s least-popular ETF, with outflows of $431.8 million.

The United States Natural Gas Fund (NYSEArca: UNG) rounded on the redemptions list in the No. 10 spot, with $42.9 million in outflows.
