Where are the safe havens in the market?
Oil spikes, gold surges: can they last?
When the broader market falls, there are some sectors that post positive returns.
- Petroleum industry
Global benchmark Brent crude futures surged above $110 a barrel this week, the highest level since 2014 while markets braced for serious disruptions to crude supplies from Russia, the world's top oil and gas supplier.
"The market panic is here," said Louise Dickson, senior oil market analyst at Rystad Energy. "The initial upward price reaction after the conflict in Ukraine started six days ago is only intensifying."
Supply chain bottlenecks and Russian-Ukrainian tensions have together fueled commodity inflation.

Gold and commodities are seen as common safe-haven assets. Demand for safe-haven assets such as gold is gradually rising as investors worry about the economic impact of soaring inflation and geo conflicts.
Investors have poured billions of dollars into gold ETFs this year.
What is a safe haven?
A safe haven is an investment that is expected to remain or increase in value during times of market volatility. Investors seek safe havens to limit the risk of losses in a market downturn.
However, which assets are actually considered safe havens may vary depending on the specific nature of a falling market.

TRIUMPHANT RETURNS LuckyPiggie: its Good! great find
treydongui : this is what I consider golden info on days like this for many here. excellent article and as always I appreciate your time and wisdom
treydongui Star987: I agree with you here but I made this mistake with the meta platforms as I got in right away like a rookie and then they dump the s*** out of it. I really could have kicked myself for this repetitive mistake. I've been making a list of things that I think the average person here would want or need to be helpful to simplify investing or improve performance. My personal desire lately is for a crash course on reading bearish stocks. I feel like when we first begin investing we look for upside potential the majority of the time if not 100% until we begin to learn our investing options and gain experience into other ways to play the market. but I think that initial heavy emphasis on finding bullish price action actually makes us slightly biased towards bullish positions and over eager imho. Anyone have anything to positively contribute here? for the benefit of your fellow community members
