Why You'll Want to Watch These Stocks

⚖️

Bucking the Downward Trend

While the S&P 500 has dropped over 4% this year, these stagflation-resistant picks have gained more than 3%. This performance gap could widen if economic conditions continue to deteriorate while inflation remains stubborn.

🛡️

Recession-Resistant Essentials

These companies provide products and services people need regardless of economic conditions. From utilities and healthcare to groceries and gold, they represent industries that maintain demand even when consumers tighten their belts.

🔮

Fed Forecasts Signal Opportunity

The Federal Reserve just lowered its 2025 growth forecast while raising inflation expectations, creating precisely the conditions these assets are selected to thrive in. This early positioning could benefit investors before stagflation concerns become widespread.
