BlackRock analyst's fixed-income plays for 3 market scenarios
Federal Reserve rate cut expectations are diminishing, with the markets scaling back from their original forecasts of six rate reductions in 2024. BlackRock's Global Co-Head of Bond ETFs Steve Laipply shares his insights on the fixed income landscape amid the growing uncertainty surrounding the Fed's policy path. Laipply acknowledges the "dramatic shift" in rate cut expectations, but believes there could be a single rate cut as soon as November. However, he notes that after that point, "it's unclear" whether any additional cuts beyond that in 2024. Addressing the fixed-income sector, Laipply advises investors "to start moving out of cash and back into fixed income." He acknowledges that the recent Fed tightening cycle had driven investors away from the asset class, but he emphasizes that it will be "impossible for investors to time rate cuts," suggesting that it is now an opportune time to gradually reallocate to fixed income. Laipply outlines three potential scenarios for investors to consider: For those who believe in a soft landing scenario, he recommends "moving back out into broad fixed income." For those who expect inflation to remain stubbornly high, he suggests focusing on treasury exposure and things like short-dated TIPS. For those who anticipate a hard landing, he advises longer duration fixed income assets.

MicroStrategy times the market 'really well': Analyst
Benchmark Managing Director and Senior Research Analyst for Fintech and Digital Assets significantly raised his price target on MicroStrategy (MSTR), from $990 to $1,875, while reiterating the Buy rating on the stock. This move was prompted by the ongoing rally in Bitcoin (BTC-USD), as the much-anticipated halving event approaches. Palmer joins Market Domination to discuss his bullish outlook. Palmer acknowledges the common question: "Why is MicroStrategy trading at such a big premium when investors can purchase Bitcoin themselves?" However, he notes that this view is "looking at things from a static standpoint." Instead, Palmer's strategy focuses on assessing how much Bitcoin MicroStrategy will hold in the coming years, what the price of Bitcoin will be at that time, and "how the company is going to be able to get to that higher level of Bitcoin holdings?" Regarding Bitcoin's price outlook, Palmer predicts it will reach $150,000 by the end of 2025, driven by a "supply shock" during the Bitcoin halving, where the cryptocurrency's supply will be diminished. Additionally, he cites a "demand shock" resulting from the approval of spot Bitcoin ETFs, which have seen over $34 billion in inflows.
