BlackRock Investment Institute shifted from overweight to neutral on US equities amid heightened market volatility.<\/p>\n

BlackRock analysts note<\/a> in a new market commentary that the shift is rooted in anticipated macroeconomic policy.<\/p>\n

\u201cHigher interest rate expectations could weigh on the market \u2013 and small caps in particular. We keep our overweight to companies that benefit from the AI mega force.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n

The financial giant also shifted from overweight to neutral on Japanese equities.<\/p>\n

\u201cJapan\u2019s exposure to imported energy may erode strong equity gains powered by healthy corporate balance sheets and governance reforms.\u201d\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n

Over a 6-12 month timeline, the BlackRock analysts note they favor investing in AI infrastructure and equipment providers, arguing they will \u201cstand to benefit no matter the winners or losers.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cWe particularly favor what we call \u2018electro tech\u2019 \u2013 batteries, power electronics and electric motors at the core of AI, energy, infrastructure and defense. AI is not just powering demand; it is tightening links across energy, technology, utilities and infrastructure, pushing up electricity use and the need for power capacity. This is colliding with limited supply of key materials such as copper \u2013 especially in fast-growing battery storage. Countries are diversifying supply and expanding grids \u2013 supporting utilities, though with returns capped by regulation. They are also reducing reliance on a narrow set of LNG suppliers, keeping prices elevated for now as buyers pay for supply security.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n
