Now that the interest rate in america are going up and the stock market volatility is increasing many people are wondering where to put their money. In times of uncertainty like this many investor seek safe havens that will help protect their investments from the fluctuations of the market. Well there are more than a few safe havens that are available for you to escape the market turmoil. I have compiled a small assortment of possible investments that are historically used when the economic climate is like it is today.

First and the most risky to me is to invest in American Banks. I chose the American banks because they stand to benefit from the Federal Reserve raising rates and the currently Republican-controlled government that is cutting regulations.

Another sector that will likely continue to grow is the oil market and although some stocks slid Tuesday after President Trump announced the United States is pulling out of the Obama era Iran nuclear deal. You can rest assured that whilst there is still turmoil in the middle east oil prices will be on the rise; so an investment during one of the dips like yesterday could be a prudent decision

After oil there is of course gold which you can invest in via futures ETF's or invest directly into gold producers. When entering this sector there is a lot of choices so make sure to do your research on the topic. With gold you could also purchase the physical ore from some distributors this is sorta like having a paper wallet.

Those are the big three when it comes to safe haven investments during uncertain time but there are a couple that some people choose to invest in whilst others decide against the investments because of moral qualms.

Much of this current uncertainty is because of the Increasing military actions happening all over the world. This increase in physical turmoil has a direct on the markets and some assets will fair better in this climate because heir companies are part of the wartime efforts. For example it would currently be a great time to get into defense stocks like Boeing and Raytheon. Boeing just took a hit of about $17 billion because of trumps Iran sanctions but still has a rising stock price. If war worsens these stocks will rise exponentially as saavy investors know they are the main defense contractors for the us fovt aside from Northrop Grumman. I personally am invested in Boeing and am currently waiting for a dip in the markets to purchase some raytheon and Northrop.

Aside from Defense stocks you could also choose to move your money to the cryptocurrency markets which many are avoiding because of the current downturn and volatility. If you choose to move from stocks to crypto i suggest getting used to wild volatility because for at least the next few years the market will provide gains but it will be quite volatile. To me it is still a good investment because this space is still in early adoption and in 10 years or so its early investors will be quite happy in the long run if the tech industries growth over the past 30 years is any barometer.

Now please remember this is just my personal opinion and if you lose anything its your own fault. we all know markets can be unpredictable but personally I believe if you make good choices on the companies you support and buy the dips you will come out on top.
