2 Recession Resistant Stocks Rally in Earnest

These recession resistant stocks and ideas could add a hedge to your portfolio as the economy slows in 2023. Banks have recently been in the headlines as they started selling assets the past few weeks with many analysts and economists pondering the reasons.

Recession Resistant Stocks – Precious Metals

Precious metals miners continue their bullish trends as the dollar fades alongside U.S. Treasury yields as members of the U.S. Federal Reserve continue their fight against inflation.

Gold miners, gold stocks and precious metals ETFs are worth a look.

The VanEck Gold Miners ETF (GDX) is building the right side of a bullish cup pattern. Volume has been above average and showing signs of institutions accumulating shares. Always use a stop.

We’ve been actively adding to our silver position in recent weeks as the trend continues to look more bullish. The IShares Silver (SLV) Trust is building the right side of a cup pattern, with approximately 16% potential back to recent highs. We’ll add on dips from this point forward.
