The latest news today that the US is imposing a ban on Russian oil is going to exert greater pressure on escalating oil prices. OPEC members are also not increasing their oil production despite US calls to do so.
This will almost certainly lead to Stagflation! Runaway Inflation with the economy slowing down.
The best way to get through this situation is through diversification into different classes of assets including stocks, properties, gold, bonds and cryptocurrencies. Also to invest in quality stocks like Apple and Microsoft which will reap bumper rewards long term.
Hopefully a peace treaty can be negotiated as soon as possible to avert a humanitarian crisis and devastation in world economies. 🙏🙏🙏
@MillionaireTiger Commodities or Cash?
@TigerStars
As quarterly trend shows both increasing GDP and CPI (last read 7% and 7.9% respectively, highest in 40-years). US economy is deemed Overheating and prompted the FED rate hikes plan. The Russia-Ukraine conflict throws a ‘curve ball’, disrupts supply chain, causes skyrocketing commodities price and exacerbates high CPI. GDP will inadvertently slow with eroded consumer spending and business growth. Even IMF now cut global GDP forecast by 1.5%, and US might just tilt towards Stagflation. Gold and energy sector using $SPDR Gold Shares(GLD)$ $Energy Select Sector SPDR Fund(XLE)$ would be my investment of choice but I am prepared to take profit to hold cash, and rotate to more defensive Utilities and Healthcare $Utilities Select Sector SPDR Fund(XLU)$ $Health Care Select Sector SPDR Fund(XLV)$ when Markets and Economy go south.
Recent correction based on TA could mean Markets have already topped in Jan 2022, and we are entering early bear? Economic cycle which lags Markets showed it could be overheating and peaking soon, evidenced by very high but slowing increase in GDP and CPI. Given this backdrop (based on the cycle diagram) it would be too late to invest in Energy and Precious Metals as they are near or have peaked. Consumer staples, Healthcare and Utilities $Consumer Staples Select Sector SPDR Fund(XLP)$ $Health Care Select Sector SPDR Fund(XLV)$ $Utilities Select Sector SPDR Fund(XLU)$ might be better bets to trades. Given current 24/7 news cycles and algos dominated trading environment, expect large and fast up and down swings, and money can be made, and lost quickly. So have to nimbly take profits, respect stops and size positions smaller, to minimise incurring large losses
Accumulate green stock, reduce tech stock, hedge with gold & commodity, buy dollar. Pure speculate do not follow 😬
