The stock market moves in cycles. As economic conditions evolve, different sectors come into and fall out of favor. Understanding sector rotation is essential for intermediate investors who want to position their portfolios ahead of market trends.

In 2025, we’re observing several key shifts:

• Central banks continue to hold interest rates at elevated levels

• Growth sectors like technology have rebounded, but cyclical sectors such as energy and industrials are showing strength

• Defensive sectors like healthcare and consumer staples remain stable

• Global macroeconomic risks and policy uncertainty remain high

This raises a critical question:

Are your investments aligned with the current stage of the market cycle?

Points for Discussion:

• Which sectors are you currently overweight or underweight, and what’s your reasoning?

• How do you identify the early signs of sector rotation? Are you using macroeconomic data, technical analysis, or fund flow trends?

• Are cyclical sectors like banking, real estate, and manufacturing back in play, or is it premature?

• Do you believe in timing the cycle, or do you prefer a diversified, long-term allocation approach?
