Autos & Metals shine; IT lags

📊 GoalFi Retail View

The week marked a shift to risk-on trades, with cyclicals like autos and metals attracting flows. Midcaps outperformed, underscoring renewed appetite beyond largecaps. IT’s underperformance highlighted global tech headwinds, but falling VIX signaled improving sentiment. For investors, the rotation suggests keeping an eye on cyclical leaders, while balancing portfolios with quality defensives.
