U.S. equities got a taste of hope Wednesday thanks to ongoing hopes of a possible U.S.-China trade deal after Chinese officials seem to be giving ground. First there were reports earlier in the week that Beijing was ready to relax import tariffs on American-made cars. Then there were reports that China may tweak its “Made in China 20205” policy  to allow fairer access to foreign companies.

Adding to the tailwinds are a tame inflation report and some calming of the Brexit situation over in the United Kingdom.

As a result a number of beaten-down stocks — especially in the precious metals sector — are perking up in a big way. Here are five cheap precious metals stocks to buy.
