Technology has been one of the best performing sectors so far this year and continues to be a profitable area of investment.
Notably, Technology Select Sector SPDR ETF XLK has returned 26.2% on a year-to-date basis, reflecting strong performance.
Although the ongoing trade war between the United States and China, a slowing China economy and Brexit-related uncertainty are potent challenges, the outperformance is expected to continue due to continuing adoption of IoT, cloud, AI, ML, AR/VR, blockchain, biometrics, and advanced data analytics.
Moreover, the accelerated deployment of 5G technology — the next wireless revolution — is likely to create further opportunities. Additionally, positive trends in overall IT spending and improving PC shipments are encouraging.
