Deep Tide TechFlow News, 14 April, like other Wall Street analysts, strategists at Citigroup have become more optimistic about the U.S. stock market. They stated that the increasing uncertainty of the war situation has led investors to prefer higher quality and more defensive companies. Citigroup strategists upgraded their rating of the U.S. stock market from "Neutral" to "Overweight," and made global asset allocation adjustments based on the principle of "quality/defensive tilt." They also downgraded the rating of emerging market stocks from "Overweight" to "Neutral," citing the vulnerability of these markets to energy shocks and a strengthening dollar. (Jin10)
