[Prize] Is the turning point for US stocks approaching? Which type of funds can be invested in now?

Whether the U.S. stock market can reach a turning point is undoubtedly the loudest discussion in the global market recently.

Currently, the Federal Reserve has signaled that it 'may slow down the pace of interest rate hikes,' but there is still a long way to go before a final conclusion can be confirmed; meanwhile, various economic data indicate that the overall growth of the U.S. economy is slowing; and the final result of the midterm elections has cast a layer of uncertainty over the market outlook.

There are voices in the market suggesting thatit is a good time to buy U.S. stocks, such as:

UBS GroupA previous statistical report on the 18 midterm elections after 1950 pointed out: the market rebounded continuously from early October to the end of the year, and then until March of the following year. The strength of the rebound in U.S. stocks during the midterm election year was much stronger than in other years.

Other voices suggest that although historically,the U.S. stock market usually rises in the 12 months following midterm elections, this time might be different, such as:

BaringsChristopher Smart from the investment research institute believes: 'This mid-term cycle is not particularly significant because ultimately everything hinges on the attitude and policy of the Federal Reserve.'

Despite differing views on the overall trend of the U.S. stock market, there are still several sectors that may present structural opportunities, such as:

defense- UBS Group：Due to geopolitical factors like the Russia-Ukraine conflict, if the Republican Party secures a sweeping victory, spending will 'significantly' increase; if the Democratic Party retains at least one seat, spending will 'moderately' rise.

Energy- Citi：Analysts suggest that if the Republicans gain control of both the Senate and the House, policies encouraging U.S. energy production could be implemented.

Clean energy- State Street Global：If the Democrats maintain control of Congress, legislation supporting 'clean energy' might boost the performance of related sectors.

Healthcare- Goldman Sachs: The Democrats recently pushed through a law aimed at lowering prescription drug prices. If the Democrats win, the overall performance of pharmaceutical and biotech stocks may move in the opposite direction;

Large technology- Citi: It is still unclear whether the reform bill targeting large technology companies will gain bipartisan support. A Republican victory in the House or Senate could mean legislative stagnation, which implies that the sector may see a rebound;
