Amidst current market volatility, Warren Buffett has shifted his strategy toward more defensive sectors, notably energy. His investment in energy stocks, particularly U.S. oil giants like Chevron, reflects a calculated approach to hedge against inflation and economic uncertainty.

Buffett sees long-term value in energy assets due to global demand stability, despite short-term market fluctuations. This focus on tangible, income-generating assets like oil and utilities suggests that he aims to protect Berkshire Hathaway's portfolio from potential downturns while capitalizing on sector resilience.
