According to Zhithong Finance APP, in the market volatility and uncertainty after Trump's inauguration, defensive industries such as Medical Care and Finance were favored in the model portfolio created by Citigroup strategists. Citigroup strategist Scott Chronert stated in a report on January 3 that due to currently experiencing the fourth quarter reporting period and the first 100 days of the new government in the USA, the bank's analytical tool 'Sector & Industry Group Navigator' is shifting towards defensive industries.

Citigroup stated: 'Our latest SIGN report shows that to balance the portfolio allocation, there is a tactical shift towards Global Sectors.' 'This reflects the market's concerns about sustained volatility during the fourth quarter reporting period and the first 100 days of the new government in the USA.'

Citigroup rated Medical Care, Communication Services, Energy, and Finance as Shareholding, while industries such as Consumer Discretionary, Industrials, Consumer Staples, and Materials were rated as Shareholding.

Citigroup stated in the report that the overall rating for Information Technology is 'hold', but there are distinctions within specific sub-sectors, giving the Semiconductors sector a 'Shareholding', the Software sector a 'hold', while the Hardware sector is rated as 'Shareholding'.
