As investors position their portfolios for 2025, wealth managers are advocating for a diversified approach with selective bets on undervalued sectors. CNBC Pro spoke to Ollie Clark, deputy head of research at WH Ireland, and Mark Preskett, senior portfolio manager at Morningstar Wealth, about how investors with roughly $500,000 could look to allocate their portfolio. Clark expects the growth in artificial intelligence to lead to another year of bumper returns. Investors with portfolios already geared toward a traditional 60/40 stock-bond portfolio mix can expect some, if limited, relief in the future, according to Clark. The Morningstar Wealth portfolio manager said investors could gain exposure to such companies through the Franklin FTSE South Korea ETF .

Copper is used in data centers for power cables, electrical connectors, power strips and more, Jefferies noted in an April 10 note. It estimates that global copper demand by data centers will increase from 239 kt (thousand tons) in 2023 to at least 450 kt per annum in 2030. "Hopes for GenAI / data centre copper demand growth are adding to investor bullishness on copper, against a backdrop of constrained supply," it wrote. For those looking to buy into the sector, CNBC Pro screened for stocks in the Global X Copper Miners ETF. In addition to the Global X Copper Miners ETF, those who want to invest in this sector via exchange-traded funds can consider the Sprott Copper Miners ETF and the iShares Copper and Metals Mining ETF.

LIMA, Aug 29 (Reuters) - Peru lowered its economic growth forecasts for 2023 and 2024 on Tuesday amid poor weather, lower private investment in mining, and anti-government protests earlier this year. The South American country's economy is expected to grow 1.1% this year, the economy ministry said in Peru's official gazette. Next year, Peru's economy is expected to grow 3.0%, the ministry added, down from a previous estimate of 3.4%. That makes El Nino the largest immediate threat to Peru's economy, the government said. Meanwhile, Peru's estimated current account deficit was lowered to 1.6% of GDP, down from the 2.1% of GDP previously expected.
