Despite the leading performance of technology and healthcare funds, some public funds have begun to adopt defensive strategies. The position-building pace of several popular industry ETFs that went public on September 19 and 22 has slowed down.

The new consumption sector is considered to offer a better investment cushion due to its robust profit growth and ample cash flow.
