BlackRock's Fink sees potential risks and says the bond market will tell us where we are going
Published On Jan 23, 2025, 9:07 AM
Larry Fink, CEO of BlackRock, has expressed concerns about potential inflationary pressures and their implications for the bond and equity markets. He believes that the bond market will provide insights into economic direction and indicates that the 10-year Treasury yield could reach between 5% and 5.5% if inflation persists, which might negatively impact equity valuations. He emphasized the importance of how effectively the private sector utilizes capital, warning that rapid growth could lead to increased inflation and consequently higher interest rates, adversely affecting stock prices.
