Good morning everyone! ☕️ Today the market is moving on mixed tracks, with some top performers continuing to outshine while traditional sectors reflect recent macroeconomic dynamics. Here is a detailed breakdown of what’s driving today’s movements:
🚀 Communications & Space Economy ($ASTS (+0 %) ) The satellite communications sector remains the undisputed protagonist. $ASTS (+0 %) continues to show impressive relative strength, driven by operational progress on the BlueBird constellation. Investors are rewarding the company's ability to scale direct-to-cell broadband services, positioning it as a leader in a high-barrier market.
🏛️ Finance & Banking ($UCG (-0,97 %) , $BBVA (-0,7 %) , $ISP (-1,16 %) ) European banks are showing resilience despite slight pullbacks in local markets.
UniCredit & Intesa Sanpaolo: Benefiting from solid fundamentals and shareholder remuneration policies (dividends and buybacks) among the highest in the sector.
2026 Scenario: The banking sector remains "value-oriented," trading at attractive multiples compared to tech, with an increasing focus on M&A and resilient fee-based income.
💻 Big Tech & AI ($META (-0,35 %) , $MSFT (+0,32 %) ,$GOOGL (+0,34 %) ) The tech sector is in a "wait-and-see" mode ahead of next week's earnings. $META (-0,35 %) leads the pack thanks to optimized AI ad spending, while $MSFT (+0,32 %) and $GOOGL (+0,42 %) reflect a tactical rotation toward more concrete AI infrastructure. Growth is solid, but the market is demanding clear proof of direct monetization.
🛍️ Retail & E-commerce ($BABA (-1,19 %) , $CVNA (+0,06 %) , $AMZN (+0,3 %) )
China: Signs of recovery for $BABA (-1,19 %) , supported by improving domestic consumer sentiment.
Personal Note: To be honest, I spent too much time studying the fundamentals and entered $BABA (-1,19 %) late. Currently, the position is at a slight loss (approx -1%), but my long-term conviction remains intact. I plan to strengthen this position during my next rebalancing to optimize the entry price.
Consumer: $CVNA (+0,06 %) is benefiting from a stabilizing used car market thanks to less aggressive interest rates compared to previous peaks.
💊 Health & MedTech ($HIMS (+0,33 %) , $INSM (+0 %) ) There is strong interest in companies integrating AI and healthcare. However, $HIMS is the most "volatile" part of my portfolio. I’ve seen virtual gains swing from +120% to -5%. While I believe in the business model, its volatility increases my risk score. With a future Popular Investor application in mind, risk stability is my priority. Therefore, I plan to liquidate the position at the next turn-up once my minimum gain target is met to stabilize my portfolio stats. 📉⚖️
🪙 Commodities & Safe Havens ($GLD (+0,3 %) , $TRX (+0,87 %) )
Gold: With $GLD (+0,3 %) nearing all-time highs (around the $4,900+ area), investors are seeking protection against geopolitical uncertainties.
Crypto: Besides my $BTC (-0,13 %) stack in cold storage, $TRX (+0,87 %) is the only altcoin I’ve chosen to hold here on eToro. I strongly believe in the sustainability of the Tron network for global transactions. I am seriously considering increasing exposure in the coming days, viewing it as an asymmetric bet with great potential.
🎯 Towards the Popular Investor Program: As mentioned at the beginning of the year, I am working to make this portfolio as balanced as possible for future copiers. Risk management comes before spectacular but unstable profits.
