The US economy’s chances of entering a recession are on the rise
While the economy may or may not enter a recession, investors would be wise to add recession-resistant stocks to their portfolios
In this piece, we will discuss stocks that posted double-digit gains in the last 5 economic recessions
According to Factset, about 95% of the companies listed on S&P 500 have reported their results, and 78% of them have exceeded market expectations.
Profits are down 2.2% compared to the first quarter of last year, but this is much better than the 6.6% drop that was expected. Moreover, all 11 sectors performed better than expected, with Tech dominating.
This is good news, but we have to address the elephant in the room: a real recession.
A recession is a negative change in gross domestic product for two consecutive quarters. The causes are linked to the fluctuation in inflation, which restricts households’ purchasing power.
However, it is not the same as an economic crisis. It refers to a prolonged period of instability that has long-term consequences.
The economy goes through a significant downturn, which can be considered the intermediate point between a recession and an economic depression.
And why am I saying there is a high probability of economic recession in the US?
Because one of the most reliable tools used by the Federal Reserve Bank of New York, which analyzes the spread between 3-month and 10-year Treasury bond yields to predict the probability of a recession in the United States in the next 12 months, indicates so.
Just recently, the 3-month and 10-year bonds experienced the largest yield curve inversion in more than 40 years. In the last 57 years, there have been 8 occasions in which the New York Federal Reserve recession indicator exceeded 40%.
In that time, it has never been wrong, and at this time, it suggests a recession probability of 68.22%, the highest level in 42 years.
