Geopolitical concerns, rising inflation, and interest rate hikes weighed on investors’ sentiments, resulting in significant stock market volatility. Although the stock market may remain volatile in the short term, investors can consider buying FedEx Corporation (FDX).
However, it could be best to avoid fundamentally weak RumbleON, Inc. (RMBL).
According to recently released Federal Reserve data, the fallout of the banking crisis is likely to push the country into recession later this year.
Because of this, Fed officials anticipate fewer interest-rate hikes this year, fearing that banks may restrict lending and harm the economy. The uncertainty in the banking industry also aided Fed officials in agreeing to raise their main interest rate by 0.25 percentage point rather than a half-point, despite signals that inflation was still too high, according to the minutes.
While the world’s largest economy’s banking system remains resilient and stable, the prospect of a prolonged economic recession cannot be discounted following unfavorable developments in the crucial sector, according to Jamie Dimon, chief executive of JPMorgan Chase.
He further added, “ The current crisis is not yet over, and even when it is behind us, there will be repercussions from it for years to come.”
Amid the uncertainties, while some stocks are worth buying, some fundamentally weak stocks are best steered clear of.
Let’s discuss the stocks mentioned above in detail.
