BlackRock Investment Institute Turns More Positive on U.S. Treasurys -- Market Talk

0522 GMT - ​BlackRock Investment Institute upgrades U.S. Treasurys, with preference for short-term bonds as higher yields improve potential returns, its strategists say in a note. "Higher yields and potentially excessive Federal Reserve tightening expectations create room to unwind our U.S. Treasury underweight​--a mainstay for most of the last six years​," they say. The upgrade was partly funded by downgrading U.S. equities to neutral. BlackRock adds Treasur​ys from across the curve. "Now, yields have reset toward our long-held higher-rates view, and we want to lock in some attractive incom​e," they say. (emese.bartha@wsj.com)
