Economic Hurricane Ahead? 7 Profitable Places to Hide Your Money
Wall Street has had no shortage of gloomy headlines in recent weeks. And recently, JPMorgan Chase (NYSE: JPM ) CEO Jamie Dimon warned of an economic hurricane looming. In turn, he suggested investors should brace themselves even though things seem fine for the time being. Similar dire remarks came from John Waldron , President and COO of Goldman Sachs (NYSE: GS ), and Elon Musk , CEO of Tesla (NASDAQ: TSLA ), in early June. Additionally, the World Bank recently underscored the threat of high inflation and low growth — the so-called stagflation. “The war in Ukraine, lockdowns in China, supply-chain disruptions, and the risk of stagflation are hammering growth. For many countries, recession will be hard to avoid,” World Bank President David Malpass said. Meanwhile, U.S. inflation hitting a 40-year high has sent the stock market into a tailspin. According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics (BIS), inflation soared 8.6% in May from 8.3% a month before. Also, the SP 500 index has lost around 8.8% since the start of June, pushing the losses to almost 21% year-to-date (YTD).
