BlackRock Investment Institute says downgrading credit

Reuters2023-03-20

March 20 (Reuters) - BlackRock Investment Institute said on Monday it was downgrading credit and preferred short-term bonds for income, with strategists pointing to financial cracks from rapid rate hikes.

"We stay risk-off: underweight developed market $(DM)$ stocks and trim credit to neutral. But we are ready to seize opportunities as macro damage gets priced in. We overweight very short-term government paper for income and prefer emerging markets," BlackRock Investment Institute strategists wrote in a note to clients.

The BlackRock Investment Institute is an arm of U.S.-based investment firm BlackRock that provides proprietary investment research.
