As the year draws to a close, the market is witnessing a notable shift in investor strategy. The Technology Sector ETF has seen a decline of over 3% since November, driven by concerns around spending on artificial intelligence. In contrast, sectors with more moderate valuations have gained momentum. The Financials Sector ETF , Healthcare Sector ETF , and Transportation Sector ETF have all posted solid gains, reflecting this strategic rotation.
