This week on Money and Investing, Mitch Olarenshaw and I discuss the key stocks and sectors to watch in 2025, focusing on economic and market trends shaping investment opportunities.
1. Technology and AI
The tech sector, driven by advancements in AI, remains a crucial area for investors. Companies in this space must deliver on high expectations, making careful selection essential for success.
2. Bonds and Interest Rates
The bond market is a focus as the pace of interest rate cuts slows. Strategies like riding calls on positions can offer opportunities for returns in this changing environment.
3. Emerging Markets
Markets like India present value opportunities with reduced dependence on China. Strategic entries in ETFs such as PIN can capture growth potential.
4. Healthcare and Biotech
Healthcare policy changes and an ageing population drive interest in this defensive sector. Biotech innovations also add strong investment potential.
5. Home Builders
Efforts to reduce red tape may revitalise the US housing sector. ETFs like XHB and stocks such as Lennar and DR Horton are worth considering.
6. Bonus Wildcard
Defence and energy sectors could gain traction under new policies. Increased defence spending and a focus on oil services may shape opportunities in these areas.
