5 Relative Price Strength Stocks You Will Regret Not Buying

The novel coronavirus outbreak triggered an unprecedented sell-off in equities and bonds. Stocks were clobbered and major indices crashed regularly, while in a bizarre turn of events, the U.S. oil futures hit negative territory.

However, over the past few months, markets, securities and crude have rebounded off their pandemic lows. Restrictions have been loosened and the economy has reopened, with activity limping back toward normalcy. Meanwhile, certain drug candidates and treatments offer a ray of hope in the coronavirus fight. 

While the heaviest losses may be in the rear-view mirror, the road to recovery remains long and uncertain amid concerns about a fresh wave of the virus in many countries, the Fed’s cautious view of the American economy and simmering U.S.-China tensions.

Amid the entire coronavirus-induced mayhem, a few stocks held up to the crisis even as the virus knocked down businesses and industries. With the market expected to remain volatile over the near-to-medium term, one of the ways such potential plays could be identified is to look for signs of relative price strength.
