Gold and silver benefit when the recession comes

Interest rate hike cycles ended in recession six out of seven times. The seventh time it lasted 17 months, and even then a recession came, albeit late. And in times of crisis, preserving the value of assets is particularly important. A recession is a time of crisis, and it can hit the U.S. at any time. About 80 percent of a poll now favored not having a "hard landing." The survey was conducted by Bank of America’s Global Fund Manager Survey. This optimism is surprising given the history. If a recession were to spread in the U.S. now, then the Fed would have to cut interest rates.

This would make government bonds more expensive, as well as gold. Gold, the safe haven, would live up to its name. And the economic data point to a possible recession. Not only in this country, but also in the USA, higher interest rates are causing the mortgage market and home sales to weaken. In the U.S., unemployment rates have gone up and loan defaults are also increasing, both in card payments and in the automotive sector. So the rapid rise in interest rates could once again lead to a recession in the U.S., although many don’t believe it will.

No wonder consumer confidence has dropped significantly, especially in terms of expectations. Job openings are down, corporate profits are down, and expensive items are getting even more expensive. With gold and gold mining stocks, investors can position themselves in time to ensure wealth preservation. For example, royalty companies such as Osisko Gold Royalties or Gold Royalty would come into question. This is because they already have diversification.

Osisko Gold Royalties – https://www.commodity-tv.com/ondemand/companies/profil/osisko-gold-royalties-ltd/ – focuses on North America. The second quarter of 2023 brought revenues from streams and royalties of just over US$51 million.

Gold Royalty – https://www.commodity-tv.com/ondemand/companies/profil/gold-royalty-corp/ – is focused on North, South and Central America and there on precious metals.
