Even the chief of the Federal Reserve while announcing an emergency rate cut said that the ultimate solution is expected from the medical profession.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li><strong>Telecom<\/strong><em>:&nbsp; <\/em>Indian telecom companies which were facing crises owing to the huge debt on the industry, have finally had a breather. The COVID-19 lockdown caused millions of professionals to operate from home which has caused a higher demand for internet and other related services. Investors have therefore chosen to cut back their investments in other sectors and pool those funds in telecom stocks. Since the future of office space is still uncertain, the telecom companies may continue to add more and more subscribers.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li><strong>Safe-haven assets<\/strong>: Like every other crisis, be it the 2008 financial crises or the massive volatility caused in the financial markets due to the US-China trade war, investors are going for traditional safe-haven assets like gold. The precious metal has had a record run during the pandemic. It had topped its previous highs on multiple occasions in just the past two months.&nbsp; Despite the fact that Gold itself doesn\u2019t produce anything, investment in Gold is known to come at a time of heightened uncertainty. <\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li><strong>Insurance<\/strong>: Ever since the Insurance Regulatory Development Authority of India asked the insurance providers to cover COVID-19 their policy, a surge in demand for insurance products has been registered.
