BlackRock turns bullish on short-term bonds, closes US stock overweight

BlackRock (BLK) upgraded U.S. Treasuries to overweight, favoring short-term bonds, and reduced its U.S. equity overweight to neutral. The shift comes after 10-year yields surged to 5.25%, driven by higher real interest rates. BlackRock sees current yields as attractive, with a 75-basis-point cushion against further rate hikes. The move is partly funded by trimming equity exposure, though the firm remains bullish on AI-focused equities and emerging markets.
