BlackRock Commentary: Sustainable investing - it’s a long game

The powerful economic restart has led to a rally in the traditional energy sector. This has raised concerns that sustainable assets may face pressure after stellar performance in 2020.

BlackRock Commentary: Why we still like technology stocks

The recent bond yield spike has been blamed for pressuring tech stocks as they are seen as vulnerable to rising rates.

BlackRock Commentary: A strong restart, not a recovery

BlackRock see the path out of the Covid-19 shock as a “restart” – not a typical business cycle “recovery.” The key reasons are the distinct nature of the shock, broad-based pent-up demand and different inflation dynamics. The passage of a $1.9 trillion fiscal package and an accelerating vaccination ramp-up in the U.S. magnify these factors, and they believe the restart will likely be stronger than markets expect.
