Liquidity chooses "the future" and punishes "tradition"
- In financial markets, numbers do not lie, and the chart in front of us tells a story much deeper than just percentages. It draws a clear map of where the world is heading and where wealth is moving.
What does 2025 tell us so far? - When telecommunications (34.2%+) and technology (25.7%+) dominate the scene with this huge gap from other sectors,
It means one thing: We are not living in a bubble, but in a "structural transformation."
The market honestly tells us that betting on artificial intelligence, data, and digital speed is the only driver of real growth today. - However, the smart data reader will notice the surprise in third place: The industrial sector (Industrials) with a return of 21.3%+.
Why? Because technology needs a body.
Data centers, energy infrastructure, and robotics need "manufacturing."
The digital world is pulling the physical world upward. - On the other side... look at the bottom of the table. Real estate (3.5%+) and essential consumer goods (4.5%+).
These sectors have traditionally been safe havens, but today they are at the back of the line.
The message is clear: Investors are no longer seeking "passive safety" or just preserving value. Risk appetite is high, and liquidity is leaving the "old economy" to join the "new economy" train. - In summary: The market is ruthlessly reordering priorities. The gap between those who own technology (or build its infrastructure) and those who hold traditional assets widens day by day. In 2025, standing still or sticking to defensive sectors meant missing the big party.
The question for you now: Is your portfolio leaning towards "growth" at the top, or "safety" at the bottom?
