U.S. stocks fluctuated on Monday, with investors on shaky ground after a third week of losses pushed the Dow industrials into negative terrain for the year as investors
fretted signs of a slowing global economy.
“I think this is a hangover from Friday, investors have had a weekend to think about things, and they didn’t get anymore cheerful,” said Kim Forrest, senior equity analyst at Fort Pitt Capital.
“There is a huge question mark about what does growth look like. The U.S. was the best house in a bad neighborhood, but we didn’t realize the neighborhood might have been deteriorating faster than we realized. Europe is a big question mark, and China seems happy with its lower growth rate,” Forrest said.
During the weekend, Federal Reserve officials said the central bank might move more slowly on raising interest rates if weak growth overseas threatens the U.S. recovery.
Precious Metals as a Safe Haven
There’s a great wealth transfer taking place right now. Are you on the losing end or the receiving end?
Wealth Transfer Planning
Precious metals have always been a safe haven for investing in high inflationary times. Historically speaking, a recurring cycle that always seems to repeat itself is periods of high inflation as a precursor to the crash of paper currencies. Those who understand this wealth cycle and position themselves in gold and silver are those who prosper.
Precious metals are assets that will never lose their value. They are not subject to systematic risks as paper money and serve as a hedge against inflation and other threats of devaluation. Cornerstone Asset Metals was established to help guide investors safely in and out of the precious metals market.
