Sell: IEZ (iShares U.S. Oil Equipment & Services ETF) "We’re recommending selling IEZ for two main reasons:

1. Reduced Geopolitical Risk: With the easing of tensions in the Middle East, the need for an oil price hedge has significantly diminished. IEZ was initially added as a safeguard against potential oil price spikes caused by conflict, but that’s no longer a pressing concern.
2. Increased U.S. Energy Supply: The U.S. energy sector is benefiting from policies encouraging domestic oil and gas production. This increase in supply is likely to keep oil prices in check, reducing the potential upside for energy-focused investments like IEZ.

Sell: KEMX (KraneShares MSCI Emerging Markets ex-China ETF) "Next, we’re recommending selling KEMX due to challenges in the broader emerging markets:

1. Tariffs and Trade Policies: Escalating trade tensions and tariffs are putting pressure on China’s economy, which in turn affects other emerging markets.
2. U.S. Economy Outperformance: The U.S. continues to lead global economic growth, supported by strong fiscal policies and a robust labor market.
3. Shift to Domestic Manufacturing: Policies promoting U.S.-based manufacturing are reducing the appeal of exposure to emerging markets, making KEMX less favorable.

Buy: IYG (iShares U.S. Financial Services ETF) "To take advantage of new opportunities, we’re recommending buying IYG:

1. Deregulation Tailwinds: The financial sector is positioned to benefit from anticipated deregulation, which could lead to increased economic activity and profitability.
2. Private Equity in Retirement Accounts: Proposed changes to 401(k) rules allowing private equity investments could open up new revenue streams for financial institutions.
3. Cyclical Recovery: Financial services tend to perform well during periods of economic growth, and we expect this sector to benefit from pro-business policies driving a broader recovery.

Buy: AGIX (KraneShares Artificial Intelligence and Technology ETF) "Finally, we’re recommending buying AGIX to capitalize on the AI-driven revolution:

1. AI Revolution Accelerates: Artificial intelligence is rapidly transforming industries, from healthcare and cybersecurity to autonomous vehicles and beyond. Demand for AI solutions is growing exponentially.
2. Diversified Exposure to Innovation: AGIX provides broad exposure to high-growth technology sectors, including semiconductors, cloud computing, and automation, reducing reliance on any single company.
3. Long-Term Structural Growth: AI is not a short-term trend—it’s a fundamental shift in how industries operate, offering significant growth potential over the long term.
