June was marked by a Fed shock and a rotation away from the winners of the previous months. On June 17, the Fed, under its new chair Kevin
Warsh , the Fed kept interest rates at 3.50–3.75%, the dot plot signaled a possible rate hike rather than a cut—after months of hopes for easing —a real blow to the markets. On top of that came a bombshell regarding defense stocks: The Ministry of Defense scrapped the multi-billion-euro F126 frigate program, and Rheinmetall $RHM (+3,63 %) subsequently lost over 16% —one of the stock’s worst trading days in decades. While speculative and cyclical stocks were sold off, investors fled to quality: defensive large-cap stocks and established software stocks held up significantly better.

In line with this more selective market environment, my portfolio slipped slightly into the red but held up more robustly than the DAX and Nasdaq:

📊 Monthly performance: -0.39%

📊 Portfolio value: ~€43,298

📊 Peak performance (Jan. 6, 2022): +39.16%

📊 YTD performance: ~+7.68%

Performance & Comparison 🚀

June was a month of contrasts: While the DAX and Nasdaq suffered from the Fed shock and the rotation out of risk assets, the S&P 500 and FTSE All-World held up significantly better thanks to their broader, more defensive composition. My portfolio was in the middle of the pack at -0.39%—more stable than the DAX and Nasdaq, but weaker than the two broad U.S. and global indices.

Performance Comparison (June 1–June 30, 2026, end of day):

My portfolio: -0.39%

FTSE All-World: +1.24%

S&P 500: +0.85%

DAX: -0.53%

NASDAQ 100: -0.96%

Purchases, Sales & Allocation 💶

In June, €300.00 was invested in the MSCI ACWI USD (Acc) $ACWI and €50.00 into the MSCI World Small Cap $WSML via the ongoing savings plans. The following were added via buy orders: Solaria Energia $SLR (€250.97), BE Semiconductors (€501.00), a Euro Overnight Rate Swap ETF (€101.00), and Tempus AI $TEM (€101.00).

On the selling side, I took profits on two positions in which I’ve been a shareholder for a good two years: In Datadog $DDOG (+0,53 %) , I closed out the entire position after the stock had performed strongly in recent months. With Snowflake $SNOW (+0,25 %) , I sold about a quarter of the position and am holding onto the rest. Both were purely profit-taking after a strong run; there has been no fundamental change in my assessment of the companies.

Top Movers in June 🟢

Despite the generally nervous sentiment, there were a few stocks that bucked the rotation trend and benefited from the flight to quality.

Tempus AI $TEM (-0,05 %) posted the strongest gain at +19.99% (+37.02 €)—AI diagnostics remain in demand, even as more speculative stocks were sold off. TSMC $2330 followed with a gain of +15.56% (+€72.12): Demand for chips related to AI expansion remains consistently high, regardless of the interest rate debate. Ferrari $RACE (+0,16 %) rose by +9.63% (+€78.63)—luxury goods proved resilient in the face of macroeconomic concerns. Berkshire Hathaway $BRK.B (-0,04 %) benefited significantly from the flight to defensive quality, rising +7.37% (+€142.01), while Crowdstrike $CRWD (+1,83 %) posted the largest euro gain in the portfolio with a +6.97% (+161.62 €) rise—cybersecurity remains structurally in demand. Cloudflare $NET (+0,97 %) rounded out the list of winners with a gain of +4.92% (+€105.74).

June’s Biggest Losers 🔴

The losers in June were almost exclusively the stocks that had performed the strongest in previous months or are particularly sensitive to interest rates.

IREN was hit the hardest $IREN (-0,99 %) , down -26.48% (-€316.39): Falling Bitcoin prices and ongoing disagreement among analysts regarding the company’s transition from a Bitcoin miner to an AI cloud provider weighed on the stock. Rheinmetall $RHM (+3,63 %) lost -23.36% (-€376.76) after the Ministry of Defense scrapped the F126 frigate program, which affected the entire defense sector. Alibaba $BABA (-0,15 %) fell by -21.25% (-€158.86)—Chinese tech remains under pressure due to general risk aversion toward Chinese stocks. American Lithium fell -21.21% (-€64.45), weighed down by persistently weak commodity prices and higher interest rate expectations, which particularly affect unprofitable growth stocks. BYD $1211 (+0,21 %) fell by -18.40% (-254.16 €) amid the ongoing price war in the Chinese electric vehicle market. Solaria $SLR (+2,16 %) rounded out the list of top losers with a -15.86% drop (-€63.35)—the hawkish Fed is weighing noticeably on interest-rate-sensitive solar and renewable energy stocks.

Conclusion 💡

June was a month of rotation: away from the more speculative winners of previous months, toward quality and established names. The Fed shock and the Rheinmetall slump showed how quickly sentiment can shift—a good reminder of why diversification across sectors and regions remains important.

❓ Question for the Community

That was my month in numbers—how did your portfolio fare through the Fed shock? Did you buy more Rheinmetall shares, or did you pull the plug?

May was dominated by strong figures and a massive rally in the tech and cloud sector. While April was still characterized by a general recovery, excellent quarterly figures and the unbroken AI boom continued to fuel the markets in May. The Nasdaq in particular benefited greatly from this and reached new highs. Even though volatility was noticeable in isolated cases, investors made strong gains in growth stocks.

My portfolio was able to take advantage of this strong momentum and achieve an outstanding performance, but was narrowly beaten by the extremely strong performance of the Nasdaq 100:

📊 Monthly performance: +9,33%

📊 Portfolio value: ~43.345 €

📊 Performance max. (06.01.2022): +43,84%

📊 Performance YTD: ~+10,44%

Performance & comparison 🚀

Performance in May was exceptionally strong, driven by my high weighting in US tech stocks. While European indices such as the DAX made rather moderate gains, US stocks dominated the action. My portfolio did extremely well with a whopping gain of over 8 % and clearly outperformed the broad market.

Performance in comparison (01.05.-31.05.2026):

My portfolio: +9,33%

NASDAQ 100: +11,20%

S&P 500: +6,47%

FTSE All-World: +5,93%

DAX: +3,27%

Top movers in May 🟢

The list of winners in May is led by outstanding developments in the cloud and cybersecurity sector - an absolute feast for tech investors.

The absolute frontrunner was $SNOW (+0,25 %) with a veritable price explosion of +83,65% (+€ 527.53), closely followed by $DDOG (+0,53 %) with +82,71% (+592,11 €). Both values showed incredible momentum.

Flop movers in May 🔴

Despite the generally extremely strong sentiment, there were also some stocks that consolidated or showed weakness in May.

American Lithium was the worst performer, falling by -13,16% (-46.03 €), still unable to find a bottom in the current market environment. With $1211 (+0,21 %) the minus of -12,13% (€ -190.62) was due to falling EV sales and the ongoing price war in China. $NU (-0,02 %) After the strong previous months, the share price fell by -8,90% (-99.30 €) after the strong previous months. Also $TEM (-0,05 %) also recorded a slight setback of -8,49% (-7.90 €), similar to $BABA (-0,15 %) with -5,15% (-40,59 €). $RHM (+3,63 %) also lost ground and lost -4,60% (-77.14 €), indicating further profit-taking in the defense sector.

Conclusion 💡

May was an outstanding month that impressively demonstrated how much a targeted positioning in the tech and cloud sector can pay off.

Yesterday unfortunately triggered a stop that I forgot to delete but no big deal 😅

The increase at $DDOG (+0,53 %) times after 2 1/2 years.

The dog is finally off the leash! 🚀🐕 $DDOG (+0,53 %) 🦍🦍🦍💲

It's been waiting in the basket for a long time, but now the Datadog is finally making a good run for it! The share is literally exploding at the moment - and rightly so. Anyone who has used the consolidation phase to collect shares can now look forward to a big grin on their face.

But the best part? That was just the warm-up. If you look at the growth in cloud monitoring, the unstoppable AI infrastructure and the strong free cash flow generation, it quickly becomes clear that the lid is far from off.

From the current level, there is easily still 300% to go if the bull run in the tech sector really picks up speed. The dog has only just started to hunt! 🐾📈
