The latest stock market weekly publication for the Stoxx Europe 600 has been revealed by BlackRock, which notes the largest sector last week for exchange traded funds (ETFs) was the food and beverage one.

This sector saw ETF inflows for the week ending June 25th stand at $26.3 million (£17.5 million), although for the year-to-date media has seen the largest net inflows, experiencing $285.8 million of new net assets.

Stock market trading also saw banks witness net outflows of $42.9 million during the week, while the figure for personal and household goods stood at $21.6 million.

"The assets invested in the ETFs are greater than the open interest in the corresponding futures contract in all 19 sectors," BlackRock stated, adding as a whole, STOXX Europe 600 sector ETFs have seen net outflows of $642.9 million year-to-date.

Meanwhile, Reuters reported yesterday (June 30th) the FTSE 100 fell 13.4 per cent during the second quarter of 2010.
