6 Major Stocks Losing on Monday’s Bull Rally
November 7, 2016 by Chris LangeAt last look, both the S&P 500 and the Dow Jones Industrial Average are up close to 2%, while the Nasdaq is pushing even higher. This seems to put an end to the nine-day slide that we saw in the broad markets over the past two weeks. Gold had come back into vogue as political uncertainty over the presidential election took hold.
Monday’s swing back up was over less perceived uncertainty over the ongoing Trump versus Clinton chess match for who will become the next U.S. president. That election is now finally just a day away, and gold’s move is having a significant impact on some of the top gold miners and producers.
Practically everything was up in the markets on Monday, except for this handful of stocks that a fair number of investors carry in their portfolios. Known as a solid hedge against inflation and fluctuating currencies, even political uncertainty, these stocks are a staple for most portfolios, although they may be a hindrance now.
