With continued uncertainty surrounding the Federal Reserve's actions, interest rates may fluctuate, impacting sectors sensitive to such changes. If investors perceive a shift towards more restrictive monetary policy, sectors like real estate (REITs) could experience downward pressure. Conversely, sectors that can capitalize on improved economic growth signals, such as technology or consumer discretionary, may see positive movement. The outcome will largely depend on ongoing economic indicators and Fed signals.
