While President Trump’s second term has been decidedly different in a lot of ways from his first, several similar trends are starting to emerge. And one of them has to be the potential and rise of inflation. Like Trump 1.0, Trump 2.0 has been marked by rising prices across various goods and raw materials. This has the potential to shift winners and losers within the economy.
And like Trump 1.0, natural resources stocks could be one of the winners.
With prices rising, the producers of basic materials and commodities could see their fortunes grow as inflationary trends take hold. For investors, the natural resources industry could be a great bet not to hedge their spending needs, but to see wonderful capital appreciation as well.
