Investors beware: Why experts recommend selling stocks in May

There are surprising reasons why investors should sell stocks and ETFs in May. The well-known saying “Sell in May and go away” is not the only decisive factor. Experts are currently recommending possibly selling stocks and ETFs in May. Things are currently looking rather mediocre on the stock markets. The planned interest rate cuts in the US are unlikely to be as massive as expected and could only occur in the autumn or towards the end of the year, which could have a negative impact on the stock markets.

A weakening US economy in the first quarter and stubborn inflation point to possible "stagflation" - a combination of a weak economy and inflation that rarely has a positive impact. In addition, the AI ​​rally on the markets is slowing down because not all companies that work with AI are immediately profitable. This can be seen, for example, in the Meta share.

Data and analysis suggests stocks and ETFs could be facing a possible correction. The US stock market S&P 500 could correct further. Traditionally, the month of May is weak on the stock markets, which suggests that the downward trend could continue for a while. Historically, March and May have traditionally been weak months for various stock market indices such as the S&P 500, the Dow Jones and the Nasdaq.

Investors may want to be cautious in May. A drastic crash is unlikely, but a correction could occur. The next few weeks could be more volatile and more likely to lead to a slight downward trend. It is advisable to monitor developments closely and take appropriate protective measures if necessary. A newly released video on the YouTube channel BÖRSE ONLINE provides further information on possible protection options through certain stocks and ETFs.
