A major rotation away from artificial intelligence stocks may be underway in the market.
As liquidity is returning to the system, a wider range of stocks are being given the “green light”, said John Davey of Astoria Portfolio Advisors.
“The Fed cut rates four times last year. They’ve already cut rates twice. Whether it’s in December or not, they’re going to cut rates again.” [or] “Historically, when the Fed cuts rates, it’s usually at the tipping point of another cycle,” the company’s CEO and chief investment officer told CNBC’s “ETF Edge” this week. Market leadership tends to change quietly. ”
He lists his latest achievements in areas ranging from emerging markets to industry. The iShares MSCI Emerging Markets ETF, which tracks the group, was up 17% in the past six months as of Wednesday’s close. The Industrial Select Sector SPDR Fund rose 9% over the same period.
He added: “I think these can nicely supplement the positions in expensive large-cap tech stocks that make up the majority of most portfolios.” “We live in a world with structurally high inflation. The reason the Fed is cutting rates is why would they want to take that much risk on just seven stocks?” and
Mr. Davey favors a globally balanced approach to investing, rather than an overweight position in the Magnificent Seven, which consists of Apple, Amazon, Metaplatform, Nvidia, Microsoft, Tesla, and Alphabet, which is trading near all-time highs. Mag 7 makes up about a third of the S&P 500.
Sophia Massey, CEO of ETF issuer LionShares, is also wary of going all-in on AI trading.
“I think analysts understand how much value AI will bring to our economy. I don’t think they quite understand how it will play out across different companies,” Massey said in the same interview. “So I feel like right now we’re pricing in the possibility of one company dominating and dominating AI and becoming a major player in the future.”
