Further, retail investors have made an active effort to diversify their portfolios, providing them with a mix of offensive and defensive measures for various market environments.\u201d\u00a0<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n<p><b>AI &amp; \u201cMAG 7\u201d Optimism Cools, Retail Investors Take a More Measured View<\/b><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Following multiple quarters of strong gains, enthusiasm for AI related stocks and the Magnificent 7 is cooling.\u00a0 53% of retail investors believe prices for AI related stocks will rise in 2026, down from 64% a year ago. Similarly in Q1 2025, 48% of investors were confident that the so-called \u201cMag 7\u201d would outperform the broader market in 2025, falling to 40% in Q1 2026.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>Bret Kenwell added:<\/b><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> \u201cMega-cap tech was an early leader in this bull market before that leadership and excitement eventually transitioned to AI. Now we\u2019re seeing a more balanced mix of sector rotation and traditional assets leading the way, with retail investors once again actively tuning their portfolios for the market environment.\u201d\u00a0<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n<p><b>The Great Rotation: Commodities and the Golden Hedge<\/b><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Although financial services (58%) and technology (51%) remain the most held sectors, commodities are gaining significant ground, accounting for nearly a third (28%) of retail portfolios. Among those holding commodities, gold has emerged as the clear favorite:<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>Retail Investors Most Held Commodities\u00a0<\/b><\/p>\n<table>\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td><b>Top Held Commodities<\/b><\/td>\n<td><b>Percent of Retail Investors Holding<\/b><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Gold<\/span><\/td>\n<td><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">63%<\/span><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Silver<\/span><\/td>\n<td><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">38%<\/span><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Oil<\/span><\/td>\n<td><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">36%<\/span><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Natural Gas<\/span><\/td>\n<td><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">26%<\/span><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Copper<\/span><\/td>\n<td><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">21%<\/span><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In response to macroeconomic concerns and the weakening US dollar, 23% of retail investors are planning to shift their allocations toward commodities or non-US stocks, while more than a third (35%) plan to increase gold allocations. Investors primarily view gold as a long-term store of value (33%), with 28% of holders citing its safe-haven appeal during volatility and roughly one-quarter using it as a direct hedge against inflation.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>Bret Kenwell commented: <\/b><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cEven prior to the recent geopolitical turmoil, retail investors demonstrated a strong lean towards commodities, and gold in particular. The narrowing information gap between Main Street and Wall Street means that retail investors are now executing more sophisticated macro trades, like rotating into gold or non-US equities, as they consider other factors like currency swoons and central bank policy shifts.\u201d<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><b>ENDS<\/b><\/p>\n<p><b>Notes to editors<\/b><\/p>\n<p><b>About this report<\/b><b><br \/>\n<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The latest <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.etoro.com\/investing\/retail-investor-beat\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Retail Investor Beat<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> was based on a survey of 11,000 retail investors across 13 countries and 3 continents.
