Leading And Lagging Sectors For March 28, 2025

President Donald Trump centered his 2024 election campaign on bringing down prices after a prolonged <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/25/02/43962364/president-trump-says-inflation-is-back-claims-its-not-his-fault-but-bidens-i-had-nothing-to-do-with-it">period of inflation</a>. In particular, Trump called for greater domestic drilling, even as the Biden Administration accelerated <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/24/05/38962379/bidens-energy-policy-a-death-by-a-thousand-cuts-says-oil-boss-as-trump-seeks-to-court-industry-overw">domestic energy independence</a>. Now that Trump is in office, energy executives are beginning to become impatient with him.
What Happened: The Federal Reserve Bank of Dallas <a href="https://www.dallasfed.org/research/surveys/des/2025/2501#tab-comments">released </a>its quarterly survey of leaders in the oil and gas industry on Wednesday. Those surveyed did not mince words about their frustration with the Trump Administration.
&#8220;The administration&#8217;s chaos is a disaster for the commodity markets. &#8216;Drill, baby, drill&#8217; is nothing short of a myth and populist rallying cry. Tariff policy is impossible for us to predict and doesn&#8217;t have a clear goal. We want more stability,&#8221; one exploration and production executive said.
Feedback seemed to converge around a newfound state of uncertainty with the administration&#8217;s tariff policy and contradictory public statements. Respondents complained of difficulty planning for future years, given the administration&#8217;s changing rhetoric.
&#8220;I have never felt more uncertainty about our business in my entire 40-plus-year career,&#8221; another executive said.
Why it Matters: Trump&#8217;s ultimate tariff plans are unclear. The second-term president has repeatedly gone back and forth on his plans to place tariffs on U.S. allies, <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/politics/25/03/44283923/trump-tariff-delay-on-autos-supported-by-75-of-readers-in-poll-will-pause-lead-to-more-purchases-ahead-of-april">repeatedly pushing back</a> announced tariffs by weeks.
The Energy Select Sector SPDR Fund (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/XLE#NYSE">XLE</a>) has traded roughly even since Trump took office on Jan. 20, outpacing the SPDR S&amp;P 500 ETF Trust (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SPY#NYSE">SPY</a>), which is down around 6%.
Trump&#8217;s embrace of tariffs is unusual for a Republican president. President Ronald Reagan, whose ideology of free markets and deregulation dominated Republican Party politics for over 30 years, <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/25/03/44269552/ronald-reagan-warned-that-tariffs-destroy-prosperity-trump-is-doubling-them-anyway-and-now-us-tech-giants-like-apple-and-nvidia-are-bracing-for-impact">warned tariffs</a> &#8220;hurt every American worker and consumer.&#8221;

Oil And Gas Executives Rebuke Trump's 'Drill, Baby, Drill' Agenda: 'We Want More Stability'

Wall Street dipped slightly on Thursday, with all major indexes edging into the red as investors digested President Donald Trump&#8216;s latest <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/government/regulations/25/03/44517885/trump-slaps-25-tariffs-on-autos-what-it-means-for-your-next-car-purchase">move on auto tariffs.</a>
Late Wednesday, Trump announced a 25% tariff on all auto imports starting next week, with duties on auto parts set to follow in May.
European automakers took a hit, with Mercedes-Benz Group AG (OTCPK: MBGAF) and Porsche Automobile Holding SE (OTCPK: POAHF) sliding 2.5% and 5%, respectively. 
Michigan-based carmakers didn't fare much better. Shares of Ford Motor Co. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/F#NYSE">F</a>) fell 2.5%, while General Motors Co. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GM#NYSE">GM</a>) plunged 6.5%, with the latter marking the worst performance on the S&amp;P 500.
In contrast, U.S. electric vehicle makers rallied. Tesla Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TSLA#NASDAQ">TSLA</a>) rose 2.6%, and Rivian Automotive Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/RIVN#NASDAQ">RIVN</a>) jumped 5%. The rally followed comments from Goldman Sachs analyst Mark Delenay, who pointed to their fully domestic production as a significant advantage <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/03/44515578/trumps-25-tariff-set-to-hike-imported-car-prices-up-to-15000-higher-goldman-sachs-warns">under the new tariffs.</a>
Meanwhile, gold extended its rally, climbing over 1% and testing record highs as the U.S. dollar softened. Silver gained 2%, while copper pulled back 2% after a strong run that had lifted it to all-time highs.
Bitcoin (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/btc/usd">BTC</a>) held firm at $86,875, signaling a cautious tone across the crypto market.

XLRE

Leading And Lagging Sectors For March 27, 2025

April tends to be a favorable month for U.S. equities, and history makes a compelling case for this. Over the past 95 years, the S&amp;P 500 has gained an average of 1.1% in April, finishing <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets">higher 61% of the time.</a>
In April, the index notched some of its most powerful monthly rallies in history, surging 43.6% in April 1933 and 17.9% in April 2020. Yet, it&#8217;s not always been a smooth ride — the worst April returns were a 20% crash in 1932 and a 9.5% drop in 1970.
Zooming in on the past three decades, April's track record becomes even more convincing. 
The SPDR S&amp;P 500 ETF Trust (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SPY#NYSE">SPY</a>), the benchmark ETF tracking the S&amp;P 500, delivered an average gain of 1.9% over the last 30 Aprils, making it the second-best month of the year after November. SPY ended April in the green 77% of the time.
That said, 2025 has started on a cautious note. Through March 26, the S&amp;P 500 is down about 3% year-to-date. 
Yet history suggests a seasonal tailwind could soon be at play — especially in four specific sectors that have consistently outperformed the broader market in April.
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Financials (XLF): Banks Lead The Earnings Charge</h3>
The Financial Select Sector SPDR Fund (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/XLF#NYSE">XLF</a>) has historically been April&#8217;s top-performing sector. 
Since its inception in 1999, XLF has risen an average of 2.7% during the month, with gains coming in 65% of the time. The seasonal strength is largely tied to the first-quarter earnings season, which kicks off in April and is typically led by major banks. Optimism surrounding annual earnings outlooks often provides a boost.
XLF has already outperformed the broader market in 2025, gaining 4.5% year-to-date. Within the sector, JPMorgan Chase &amp; Co. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/JPM#NYSE">JPM</a>) stands out: Over the past 45 years, JPM shares have climbed an average of 2.6% in April, delivering positive returns 68% of the time.
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Consumer Discretionary (XLY): Big Tech Retailers Deliver Spring Strength</h3>
The Consumer Discretionary Select Sector SPDR Fund (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/XLY#NYSE">XLY</a>) also posted a strong seasonal performance, rising 2.4% on average in April over the last 26 years. It has a 65% winning rate during the month.
April is historically the best month for Amazon.com Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AMZN#NASDAQ">AMZN</a>), with an average gain of 7.6% and a 70% success rate. 
Likewise, Tesla Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TSLA#NASDAQ">TSLA</a>) tends to accelerate this time of year, with April returns averaging 5.9%, making it the second-strongest month for the electric vehicle maker, behind only November's 11.9% surge.
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Materials (XLB): A Solid Spring For Commodities And Chemicals</h3>
The Materials Select Sector SPDR Fund (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/XLB#NYSE">XLB</a>) also delivered strong April sector performers. XLB has risen an average of 3.1% in April over the past 26 years, with a 65% win rate. The ETF is up about 3% year-to-date, suggesting some early momentum heading into April.
One heavyweight in the materials space, Linde plc (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/LIN#NYSE">LIN</a>) — which represents roughly 20% of XLB's holdings — has consistently delivered in April. With 32 years of historical data, Linde has averaged a 3.5% gain in the month and ended April in positive territory 69% of the time.
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Energy (XLE): The Strongest April Performer</h3>
Energy stocks have historically delivered the most robust gains in April, with the Energy Select Sector SPDR Fund (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/XLE#NYSE">XLE</a>) averaging a 4.1% return and closing the month higher 62% of the time. 
Yet, it&#8217;s worth noting that this impressive figure is skewed by an extraordinary rebound in April 2020, when XLE surged nearly 30% following a historic 35% plunge in March 2020 — a period marked by collapsing oil prices and pandemic-driven market chaos. 
Looking at long-term leaders within the sector, Exxon Mobil Corp. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/XOM#NYSE">XOM</a>) shares have gained an average of 2.7% in April over the past 40 years, while Chevron Corp. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/CVX#NYSE">CVX</a>) performed slightly better, rising 3.1% on average over the same period.

Leading And Lagging Sectors For March 26, 2025

Shares of oil and gas giant Exxon Mobil Corp. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/XOM#NYSE">XOM</a>) are hitting 16-week highs on Tuesday as investors bet President Donald Trump's latest tariff threat could be a positive <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/government/regulations/25/03/44460897/oil-prices-rally-exxon-hits-16-week-highs-as-trump-vows-25-tariffs-on-any-country-buying-venezuelan-crude">catalyst for the stock. </a>
What To Know: Trump took to Truth Social on Monday with the <a href="https://truthsocial.com/@realDonaldTrump/posts/114217914259825110">promise</a> of 25% tariffs on any country that buys oil or gas from Venezuela, set to go into effect on April 2. 
The secondary tariffs target major buyers of Venezuelan oil, including China, India, Spain, Italy and Cuba and could disrupt global oil supply chains. Exxon Mobil could potentially see new opportunities if the proposed tariff sends countries looking for alternative supply. 
Read Next:<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/03/44475805/homebuilders-kb-home-lennar-cut-prices-as-homebuyer-demand-has-slowed-materially"> Homebuilders KB Home, Lennar Cut Prices As Buyer Demand Has &#8216;Slowed Materially&#8217;</a>
According to data from the Commerce Department, the U.S. bought $5.6 billion of oil and gas from Venezuela in 2024. Trump's proposed tariff could lead to a shift in U.S. oil import patterns, potentially benefiting domestic producers such as Exxon. 
Oil prices jumped after Trump proposed the tariffs Monday with WTI crude oil futures reaching $69.40 per barrel on Tuesday, the highest level in three weeks. A tighter global supply of oil would send prices higher, also benefiting major refiners who have <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/03/44343416/oil-titan-harold-hamm-warns-drilling-could-stop-if-oil-prices-remain-low-you-cant-drill-baby-drill">recently warned</a> that low oil prices could affect their ability to remain viable. 
Oil prices remain somewhat muted for now, due in part to an extension granted to Chevron Corp (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/CVX#NYSE">CVX</a>), which allows the company until May 27 to exit its Venezuelan oil operations. 
The United States Oil Fund (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/USO#NYSE">USO</a>), tracking the spot price of WTI, is up nearly 3% over the past five days and the SPDR Energy Select Sector Fund (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/XLE#NYSE">XLE</a>), tracking the U.S. energy sector, is up 2% over the same period.

Leading And Lagging Sectors For March 25, 2025

Crude prices surged and energy stocks rose Monday after President Donald Trump vowed to slap a sweeping 25% tariff on any country that imports Venezuelan oil, signaling renewed geopolitical tensions <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/oil">in global energy markets.</a>
West Texas Intermediate light crude, as closely tracked by the United States Oil Fund (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/USO#NYSE">USO</a>), rose over 1% to $69 per barrel, touching a three-week high.
"Any country that purchases Oil and/or Gas from Venezuela will be forced to pay a Tariff of 25% to the United States on any Trade they do with our Country," Trump said, adding that enforcement would begin next month and be "registered and documented."
The statement came via a <a href="https://truthsocial.com/@realDonaldTrump/posts/114217914259825110">post </a>on Truth Social, where the former president accused Venezuela of sending violent criminals to the United States and branded the Tren de Aragua gang as a &#8220;Foreign Terrorist Organization.&#8221;
Trump added that the proposed secondary tariffs would go into effect on April 2, what he called "Liberation Day in America."

Venezuela's oil exports have risen in recent years, and they remain a crucial revenue source for the embattled regime of Nicolás Maduro. 
According to Reuters, Venezuela exported 772,000 barrels a day of crude last year, marking a 10% increase from a year earlier. China is widely considered the largest purchaser of Venezuelan crude, though much of the oil arrives through indirect routes or intermediaries that obscure its origin to sidestep international sanctions.
Beyond geopolitics, U.S. economic data on Monday gave oil another push. Business activity surveys in March came in stronger than expected, easing recession fears but raising concerns that input costs may be accelerating again.
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">US Energy Stock Reactions</h3>
The oil rally ignited gains across the energy sector. Exxon Mobil Corp. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/XOM#NYSE">XOM</a>) rose 1.1% to $116.75 by 11:15 a.m. in New York, reaching its highest level price since early December. Chevron Corp. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/CVX#NYSE">CVX</a>) added 0.4%, while ConocoPhillips (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/COP#NYSE">COP</a>) gained 0.6%.
The Energy Select Sector SPDR Fund (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/XLE#NYSE">XLE</a>) climbed 0.6%, extending its year-to-date gain to 7.8%—the best performance among all S&amp;P 500 sectors in 2025.

Leading And Lagging Sectors For March 24, 2025

Wall Street remains in the red heading into the end of the week, with major indexes posting modest midday losses in New York, though well off <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets">the session&#8217;s earlier lows.</a>
At a White House event, President Donald Trump said there would be flexibility on the upcoming tariffs, easing investor concerns that their planned implementation on April 2 could trigger major disruptions.

The news helped improve risk sentiment in equities, while gold is having its worst session since late February, down 1% as traders scale back positions in safe-haven assets.
The U.S. dollar reversed course to notch weekly gains after two consecutive weeks of losses. Among mega-cap stocks, Boeing Co. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BA#NYSE">BA</a>) and Tesla Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TSLA#NASDAQ">TSLA</a>) led the way, climbing 4.9% and 4.2%, respectively.
Boeing, up 11% for the week, is on track for its strongest weekly performance since July 2023 after securing a multibillion-dollar contract to design and build a next-generation fighter jet for the U.S. Air Force—beating out rival Lockheed Martin Corp. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/LMT#NYSE">LMT</a>), which fell 6%.
Bitcoin (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/btc/usd">BTC</a>) dipped 0.4% to below $84,000 but is still holding onto weekly gains.

Leading And Lagging Sectors For March 20, 2025

Oil prices fell 1% Tuesday with geopolitical change and economic uncertainty contributing to market expectations. 
<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/global/25/03/44384160/oil-prices-slip-energy-stocks-pause-as-trump-putin-call-signals-ukraine-ceasefire-progress">Diplomatic talks between</a> U.S. President Donald Trump and Russian President Vladimir Putin encouraged the prospect of a Ukraine ceasefire that might relax sanctions on Russian fuel exports, according to Reuters. But analysts warn it will take time for a meaningful recovery in Russian oil output. While this is, at least in part, due to the effects of Trump&#8217;s trade tariffs on energy demand, there are a number of other factors coming into play. These combine to create a complicated energy scenario, making <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/etfs">energy ETFs</a> a focal point of investor interest.
<h1 class="wp-block-heading">How Energy ETFs Fit Into The Picture</h1>
ETFs provide exposure to the energy sector with risk management against changing oil prices and geopolitical events. Here&#8217;s how various kinds of energy ETFs could be impacted:
Diversified Energy ETFs: These offer diversified exposure to exploration, production, refining and transport, enabling investors to control volatility. Energy Select Sector SPDR Fund (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/XLE#NYSE">XLE</a>) and the iShares U.S. Energy ETF (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/IYE#NYSE">IYE</a>) are options to consider, with expense ratios of 0.08% and 0.4%, respectively.
Exploration and Production (E&amp;P) ETFs: Concentrated on extracting oil and gas, these ETFs can experience volatility due to changes in supply and demand. Investors may look at the SPDR S&amp;P Oil &amp; Gas Exploration &amp; Production ETF (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/XOP#NYSE">XOP</a>) and the iShares U.S. Oil &amp; Gas Exploration &amp; Production ETF (BATS:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/IEO#BATS">IEO</a>). The ETFs carry an expense ratio of 0.35% and 0.4%, respectively.
Midstream ETFs: Comprising less price-volatile components, these may be rewarded with higher oil transport and storage requirements. Examples include the Alerian MLP ETF (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AMLP#NYSE">AMLP</a>) and the Global X MLP ETF (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MLPA#NYSE">MLPA</a>), with expense ratios of 0.85% and 0.45%, respectively.

<h1 class="wp-block-heading">Contributing Factors To Slowing Oil Prices</h1>
• If sanctions against Russia are relaxed, its crude output — presently at 9.2 million barrels per day (bpd), from 10.6 million bpd in 2016 — might rise. But significant supply shifts might not be immediate, per the Reuters report.
• Trump's tariffs are pressuring global growth. The OECD warns of slower growth, while Wood Mackenzie cut its 2025 Brent crude forecast by $7 to $73 per barrel, according to Reuters.
• OPEC+ is going ahead with its scheduled April output increase, pumping additional supply into the market.
• Middle East uncertainty is another underpinning factor in oil prices. Trump&#8217;s military intervention in support of Iran-aligned Houthis in Yemen and Israeli airstrikes on Gaza inject volatility into the global oil supply.
• Chinese and German economic stimulus may be able to sustain oil demand, offsetting some of the pressure on prices lower.
• This week, the American Petroleum Institute (API) and U.S. Energy Information Administration (EIA) will report on oil inventories. Reuters reported that a 0.9 million barrel build is expected by analysts, which may have an impact on short-term price action.
Oil prices continue to be very volatile based on geopolitical and economic reasons. Energy ETFs provide investors with the means to ride out these changes, managing risk while achieving opportunity. Monitoring worldwide trends and inventory reports will be paramount in making smart investment decisions.

Leading And Lagging Sectors For March 19, 2025

Oil prices tumbled Tuesday afternoon as traders reacted to President Donald Trump&#8216;s call with Russian President Vladimir Putin, which laid the groundwork for a <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/ukraine">potential ceasefire in Ukraine. </a>
The West Texas Intermediate light crude, tracked by the United States Oil Fund (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/USO#NYSE">USO</a>), fell over 1% to $67 a barrel, reversing earlier session gains and snapping a two-day winning streak. 
Energy stocks, which on Monday had posted their best two-day streak since October 2022, took a breather as the market digested the geopolitical developments.
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">What Was Discussed In the Trump-Putin Call?</h3>
According to a White House readout, Trump and Putin agreed to an immediate halt on attacks targeting Russian and Ukrainian energy and infrastructure sites for 30 days. Additionally, they outlined plans for negotiations in the Middle East to establish a maritime ceasefire in the Black Sea.
Trump, in a post on Truth Social, described the call as "very good and productive," adding that "many elements of a Contract for Peace were discussed." He indicated that both Putin and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy "would like to see an end of the hostility.

&#8220;We agreed to an immediate ceasefire on all energy and infrastructure, with an understanding that we will work quickly towards a complete ceasefire and, ultimately, an end to this very horrible war,&#8221; Trump wrote.
Putin, according to Russian sources, said that any resolution must be "comprehensive, sustainable, and long-term" while addressing Russia's security concerns. The Kremlin also stated that stopping foreign military aid to Ukraine is a key condition for de-escalation.
&#8220;The key condition for preventing escalation and pursuing a diplomatic resolution is the complete cessation of foreign military assistance and intelligence-sharing with Kyiv,&#8221; the Russian statement read.
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">How Energy Stocks Reacted</h3>
Energy stocks that had posted their strongest two-day rally since October 2022 paused their advance. 
The Energy Select Sector SPDR Fund (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/XLE#NYSE">XLE</a>) traded flat by 3:00 p.m. ET, though it remains up over 5% year-to-date, making it the best-performing S&amp;P 500 sector.
Among key oil equities, Exxon Mobil Corp. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/XOM#NYSE">XOM</a>) slipped 0.2%, while Chevron Corp. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/CVX#NYSE">CVX</a>) edged 0.7% higher.

Oil Prices Slip, Energy Stocks Pause As Trump-Putin Call Signals Ukraine Ceasefire Progress

Volatility returned to Wall Street on Tuesday, with all major indexes trading in negative territory by midday in New York. Investors weighed the economic impact of potential tariffs from the Trump administration while questioning whether the long-standing dominance of <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/economics/macro-economic-events/25/03/44379453/equity-exposure-plummets-cash-holdings-jump-as-investors-rethink-us-exceptionalism-bank-of-america-survey">U.S. equities has peaked. </a>
The S&amp;P 500 fell 1.1%, while the tech-heavy Nasdaq 100 dropped 1.5%. Blue-chip stocks provided no relief with the Dow Jones down 0.8%.
Data from Bank of America's Global Fund Manager Survey, released Tuesday, signaled a significant shift in asset allocation. Investor exposure to U.S. equities plunged 40 percentage points month-over-month to a net 23% underweight, the lowest level since June 2023. 
The Federal Reserve is set to hold its second policy meeting of the year on Wednesday. While markets widely expect interest rates to remain at 4%-4.25%, investors brace for updated economic projections that may reflect higher inflation estimates due to the tariff impact.
All Magnificent Seven tech giants traded in the red on Tuesday, with the Roundhill Magnificent Seven ETF (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MAGS#NYSE">MAGS</a>) hitting a seven-month low.
Meta Platforms Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/META#NASDAQ">META</a>) tumbled 14% month-to-date, on track for its worst monthly performance since October 2022. Alphabet Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GOOGL#NASDAQ">GOOGL</a>) has plummeted 21% since February, marking its worst two-month decline since November 2008.

Wall Street Falters, Magnificent Seven Hit 7-Month Lows, Gold Rockets On Haven Demand: What's Driving Markets Tuesday?

<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/magnificent-seven">The Magnificent Seven</a> have had an iron grip on the market, but cracks are starting to show. Their earnings advantage over the broader market is narrowing, raising questions about whether tech's dominance is finally losing steam. 
In an exclusive interview with Benzinga, Violeta Todorova, senior research analyst at Leverage Shares, said she believes this could be the start of a more significant shift.
"We started seeing emerging signs of a more durable transition, as the earnings gap between the Magnificent Seven and the rest of the market is narrowing," she said.

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Are Investors Rotating Away From Tech?</h2>
The NASDAQ-100 tracking Invesco QQQ ETF (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/QQQ#NASDAQ">QQQ</a>) is down 5.38% YTD while the broad technology sector tracking Technology Select Sector SPDR ETF (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/XLK#NYSE">XLK</a>) is down 7.13% YTD. 
With Big Tech stocks no longer delivering eye-popping outperformances, investors are looking for fresh opportunities. Capital is flowing into financials, industrials and even energy—sectors that have played second fiddle to tech for years. The Financial Select Sector SPDR ETF (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/XLF#NYSE">XLF</a>) is up 1.18% YTD, the Industrial Select Sector SPDR ETF (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/XLI#NYSE">XLI</a>) is up 1.25% YTD and the Energy Select Sector SPDR ETF (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/XLE#NYSE">XLE</a>) is up 5.23% YTD.
While Nvidia Corp (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NVDA#NASDAQ">NVDA</a>) and Microsoft Corp (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MSFT#NASDAQ">MSFT</a>) remain AI darlings, the rest of the pack is facing valuation fatigue.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">The AI Boom Can't Save Every Tech Stock</h2>
The artificial intelligence revolution has powered tech stocks to new highs, but Todorova warns that AI alone is not enough to sustain growth across the board.
While companies like Microsoft, Amazon.com Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AMZN#NASDAQ">AMZN</a>) and Alphabet Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GOOGL#NASDAQ">GOOGL</a>) (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GOOG#NASDAQ">GOOG</a>) are leveraging their strong balance sheets to turn AI from hype into real-world application, concerns are mounting over the long-term returns on these massive investments. 
With AI adoption accelerating but stock market leadership shifting, the Magnificent Seven's dominance is being tested as earnings growth slows and broader economic uncertainties loom.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">A Temporary Pause Or A Real Shift?</h2>
The key question is whether this is just a momentary cooldown or the start of a multi-year rotation. Tech has led for so long that many investors struggle to imagine a different market landscape. 
But as earnings dispersion levels out and capital shifts elsewhere, the Magnificent Seven may no longer be a guaranteed one-way bet.
