The stock market remains volatile ahead of Fed chair Jerome Powell’s Semiannual Monetary Policy Report delivery to Congress. Moreover, as recessionary fears are high, quality healthcare stocks Pfizer Inc. (PFE), Bristol-Myers Squibb Company (BMY), Amgen Inc. (AMGN), and Elevance Health Inc. (ELV) could be wise additions to your portfolio.
Healthcare stocks tend to perform relatively well despite market downturns, as companies in this space enjoy inelastic demand for their products and services.
